Its goals
To take in children, adolescents and young people at risk, with an emphasis on working with families. Our concern and goal is family and social reintegration, favouring the involvement of these children. Rescue lives and build citizenship through our programmes: our aim is to go to meet children on the streets, to help their real needs, to help them to dream, create relationships of reference and offer them different and attractive options from the ones they have living as homeless people, by inserting them in institutions or social programmes, or favouring their return to their biological family.
