Taller de Vida (TdV) works with children affected by the armed conflict in Colombia. It strives to keep them safe and to protect their rights.
The five-decade long conflict between government forces, paramilitary groups and guerrilla groups has devastated the lives of many children and families in Colombia. An estimated 11,000 children are forced to fight in the conflict, separated from their families, putting them at great risk and resulting in lasting physical and psychological damage. More than half of an estimated 3.9 – 5.3 million internally displaced people in Colombia are under 18.
Taller de Vida is a member of Family for Every Child.
