Why We Work
Typically, children in Latin America attend school for only 4 hours per day (UNICEF). 70% of adolescents do not pursue a high school education in Central America (UNICEF).
Doctors, nurses, and first responders lack the training needed to address extremely high rates of trauma and medical emergencies.
20 million young people - 1 in 5 - youths are neither in school nor employed (World Bank). The Northern Triangle - El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras - are amongst the most violent countries in the world (UNODC). The number of children trying to flee the region more than doubled in 2014 (IOM).
