Youth Cultural Front

The Front is a grass roots youth organization that promotes education and culture in the shantytowns of Machala. It is based on the philosophy of “youth protagonism,” where children and teens tutor their peers, work in preschools, and build community libraries.

The program also trains youth in arts and crafts, then teaches how to sell these products to augment the income of their families -- and provide and option to work on the street. It also works with several national and international NGOs in a sex education project.

The Front offers services to some 4200 children and youth in Machala.
