Family violence, poverty, neglect: There are many reasons why children end up on the street in Puebla. Children from poor families who are forced to cancel school and go to work for family support on the street are also exposed to a high risk of gliding into the spiral of drugs, violence and exploitation. One way out is hardly possible without help.

The organization JUCONI ("Fundación Junto con los niños") has been funded by Hommes in cooperation with the Volkswagen Group Works Council since 2001. Juconi runs two dormitories and a day facility for former street children and working children. Juconi converts different programs for street children and working children. Around 350 children and their families are looked after each year. Most of them are addressed on the market where many work. There is a day care center right on the market where the children receive school tutoring in their free time. So you will be introduced to the lessons at the regular school and get the chance to escape poverty traps in the long term.

Street children are protected in the other Juconi facilities. Trauma therapeutic care for children and their families in particular is a focus of work. Many of the children have drug problems, had to prostitutes, have experienced physical, psychological or sexual violence. The JUCONI trauma specialists therefore look after them for up to three years to give them a perspective again.

Your support for strong children!
