Street Kids Project – Bogotá Columbia In Bogotá, Colombia there are an estimated 12,000 children living on the street. Some of them are runaways; others are orphans or have been abandoned by their parents. They are called “throwaway children”. The Street Kids Project in Bogotá provides medical care, food, clothing and shelter for these kids. The work began in 1983 and has impacted many children’s lives through the years. In the 1990s the challenge was so great that there were numerous reports of street children being rounded up by the military and police, taken into the mountains and executed. Organizations like the Bogotá Street Kids Project provide long-term residence and vocational training to offer hope and healing to these children.      Return to Projects
