Juconi Foundation
From November 29 – December 1, 2010, the Juconi Foundation – a member of the Sanctuary Network celebrating their twentieth anniversary of helping children in Puebla, Mexico and Guayaquil, Ecuador – welcomed participants from a number of countries, to the 1st International JUCONI Conference - For a World Without Violence.
Dr. Sandra Bloom gave the opening and closing plenary addresses, while Carol Tracy, Executive Director of the Women’s Law Project in Philadelphia; Dr. Elizabeth Kuh and Dr. Lyndra Bills each offered workshops.
The Mission of the JUCONI Foundation is to develop, implement and share effective solutions for socially excluded children, young people and families affected by violence. JUCONI is distinct for the following reasons:
- JUCONI never gives up on or expels a child or family from the program.
- JUCONI maintains an emphasis on quality over quantity.
- JUCONI knows that what works for one child may not work for another.
- JUCONI shares its success and knowledge with the world.
