Children Change Colombia
Careers at Children Change Colombia
Children Change Colombia (formerly Children of the Andes) is a UK registered charity with 25 years' experience in defending children's rights in Colombia.
Today we are the largest UK charity working exclusively in Colombia. By working in partnership with local children's organisations in Colombia we support children and their families to challenge poverty inequality discrimination and violence.
Despite a growing economy and prospects of an end to the long-running conflict millions of children still face poverty violence and exclusion from the opportunities presented by a changing society.
So whether they are threatened by forced displacement sexual exploitation or recruitment into armed groups whether denied education a loving family or a place to play we work to ensure that every child can claim their right to a safe and happy childhood and a fulfilling future.
