Empowering families, transforming communities. # For nearly three decades, your compassion has been a catalyst for change across Latin America. Together, we're building a brighter future for the region's most vulnerable children. ## The challenges we face. Latin America confronts complex issues affecting its children and youth. - 86 million people lived in extreme poverty. - 29% of all international migrants aged 15-24 come from this region, driven largely by rural poverty. - Latin America ranks first globally in youth deaths from violence. ## Yet, amidst these challenges, there's immense potential for positive change.
