Asociación Vivamos is a non-profit
organization with the
goal of raising abandoned children in an environment that will turn
them in well educated, self-reliant, good, law-abiding citizens.
Violence, poverty, high unemployment rates, and class differences
affect many children in Colombia . Our society must take decisive
and definitive action to protect them from these issues.
We focus on children that had been declared by the government to
be in total abandon (no responsible family or guardian
to take care of them). These children have been traumatically separated
from their families, denied their human rights, and psychologically
disturbed due to unfortunate situations like family violence, or
child abuse.

Our goal has a long-term vision. By reaching our goal, we are reducing
the social impact caused by people raised in an environment without
the support of a caring family. These children will eventually become
adults. They require special attention if we want to break the cycle
of our social issues.
Our organization ( Asociación Vivamos ) will provide a well-rounded
education to boys and girls declared
in total abandon by our government, with the goal of turning them
into men and women capable of positively contributing to
our society, professionally and morally .
