Support, protect, defend

Poverty, violence, injustice, and inequality of access to the most basic services such as healthcare, sanitation, school and justice all disadvantage the most underprivileged populations in Latin America. 

The issues of inflation, unemployment and poverty are amplified by the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and internal political crises, resulting in rising social tensions.

“I am serving a non-custodial sentence for a huge mistake I made. I am getting a great deal of emotional and practical support, which has helped me set up a small chicken-rearing business. I am also completing my schooling. I am grateful for having been given some new options. Today’s mistakes are tomorrow’s lessons.”
