Children Change Colombia

Children Change Colombia is one of the UK’s largest charities working exclusively in Colombia. It works with children whose rights to a safe and happy childhood and a fulfilling future are threatened by poverty, inequality, violence and gang culture. It does this through local partnerships and by focusing on children most at risk, to keep them safe and to defend their rights in the long term.
