Las Tías PequeñasLas Tías Pequeñas seeks to prevent 6-14 year old children from working in the street and encourages them to attend school. The Tías and volunteers help the children with their homework, give extra lessons and provide psychological support. Since the program began in 1989, there has been a drastic increase in school attendance and performance, as well as a reduction in the amount of hours that the children work every day on average.

Las Tías GrandesLas Tías Grandes works with 30 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18. Many of the teenagers come from violent homes or have experienced life on the streets. The center offers workshops in carpentry, hairdressing, dress-making, and sewing. By providing the teenagers with the vocational skills necessary to obtain employment, the organization paves the way for its participants to stay off the streets indefinitely. The success of this program has helped many teenagers to overcome drug abuse, improved family relations and reduced domestic violence.
