THE GROWING UNITED FOUNDATION
Somos una organización no gubernamental, sin ánimo de lucro, cuyos antecedentes se remontan a 1986, cuando nuestro inspirador y fundador, el psicopedagogo Hugo Fernández Nilo, preocupado por la situación de los niños y niñas trabajadores o en situaciones de calle, inició sus primeros contactos en el Cementerio Central de la ciudad de Bogotá.
The Fundación Crecando Unidos (FCU) arises as a social practice with children and adolescents (NNAS) who exercised their work in the Central Cemetery of the city of Bogotá, with the intention of dignifying their work, improving their quality of life and contributing to their comprehensive training. This practice already expressed a political stance in the face of childhood problems that, in the national and international concert, advocated the eradication or abolition of child labor, ignoring contexts such as Latin American and particularly Colombian, where inequality and inequity force the child labor as a means that contributes to the survival of poor families.
