Children Change Colombia is the UK's largest charity working exclusively in Colombia. We work with children whose rights to a safe, happy childhood, and a fulfilling future, are threatened by poverty, inequality and violence. We work with the children most at risk, to keep them safe and defend their rights in the long term, to tackle neglected issues that few others address and to strengthen children's organisations. Through local partnerships, we are currently addressing the following neglected issues facing children and young people:
-recruitment into armed groups and reintegration into society.
-sexual and gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence.
-commercial sexual exploitation.
- exclusion from education.
We believe that, with a knowledge of their rights and the confidence to assert them, children can transform their own lives, their communities and Colombia itself.
