who we are

Who we are

JUCONI (Junto Con Los Niños - “Together with the Children”), was founded in 1995 as an Ecuadorian non-profit organisation to provide specialised services to street children and young people who run a high risk of taking to street life. Juconi´s three main aims are:

To provide personalised support to street-involved children and their families so that the young people acquire the skills which will give them the freedom to exercise the rights set down in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
To build families and communities which value and respect children’s rights.
To share our skills and expertise with other NGOs and service providers so they can work more effectively with street-involved and other socially excluded children.

We have so far provided more than 800 children with our personalised services. Many more children have benefited indirectly from Juconi´s work with schools, local communities and other NGOs working in similar fields.
