Who we are

2017

A charity of Last Resort whose aim is that the forgotten children of Colombia may have life; life in all its fulness.

Let The Children Live! is a charity that works in Colombia with children from the streets and shanty-towns of the city of Medellín. These children were once called ‘the disposable ones’ and although that name is no longer used they are still at high social risk from the violence that they experience in the streets and shanty-towns of cities such as Medellín.  Most of the danger in the shanty-towns comes from the many gangs ( or bandas ) that control them.  Let The Children Live! is at present working with 320 very vulnerable boys and girls in this city. For most of them it is their last hope.Their ages range from babies to teenagers and they are often unloved and unwanted; even  beaten, robbed, raped and sometimes murdered. By the rest of the world they are either unknown or forgotten. The charity, which was founded by Fr Peter Walters, aims to safeguard the lives of these children from the poverty and violence of the streets and  shanty-towns, and to make their lives worth living by giving them love, education and a future.

This website will give you an overview of our work and tell you how you can become part of it and make a difference to the lives of our children.
