Our mission is to strengthen the processes of social cohesion and community empowerment through educational projects with a focus on ethncultural, gender and human rights. We faithfully believe that education is the tool for social mobility. In this framework, we work in three lines of action: Promotion of Sexual and Reproductive Rights, Prevention of Gender Based Violence and Promotion of education with an ethnocultural and human rights approach. Currently we focused on the prevention of violence through the construction of safe environments to prevent child prostitution and recruitment through training spaces to create new narratives in visual arts, photography and creative writing.
