Intergracion y Solidaridad (Intsol)

There are an estimated 400,000 street children and child laborers in Lima alone.

Many such children come from refugee families from the mountain regions of Huancavelica and Ayacucho. They fled to escape the bloody conflicts between the military and the terrorist rebel organization Shining Path. Some children have lost their families in the fighting.

Intsol workshop CSI  

CSI has established a center for street children called "Intergracion y Solidaridad". They get a primary education with workshops in handicraft sewing and knitting. The center takes care of about 270 children.
