Jefferson, 20

“I was 12 when I started working on the streets, selling oranges or whatever I could. One day, my brother said I could help him selling flowers on the streets. It was there that Juconi came and found us. Since then, they have helped the family financially, psychologically, given us food and everything. They even gave me money for my studies. I am so glad that my two little brothers will never have to go out and work on the streets.
I would love to go back to the navy and serve my country. I’m saving up at the moment so I can get back in. One day I would like to have a family and give them all the things I never had.”

Finally, Jefferson is in the Navy and has reached outcomes that are improving his life every day.
