CPCS aims to works for a society where all children are respected, valued and protected. Our mission is to deliver basic services (medical, legal, psychological, educational, etc.), in order to bring immediate improvement to children in street situations and children at risk.

We have three main groups of activities/programs :

  1. Prevention(prior to and during the street life): a set of interventions focused on:  A. Preventing and avoiding the arrival of the child in street.  B. Raising awareness among the public, families, and authorities, children themselves about the realities of street life (its causes, dangers, aspects, and consequences).
  2. Risk Reduction (during life in the street): a short-term perspective focusing on the immediate reduction of street life dangers. 
  3. Social Rehabilitation (afterlife in the street): a mid-term perspective focusing on progressive and eventual reintegration of the child into society. (deinstitutionalization, Family-Based Care, …)
