Fundación Junto Con Los Niños - JUCONI

What Fundación Junto Con Los Niños - JUCONI does

Fundación Junto Con Los Niños - JUCONI is a non-profit organization founded in 1995 in Guayaquil, Ecuador, focused on breaking intergenerational cycles of violence against children through psychosocial intervention. The organization serves children, adolescents, and families living in extreme vulnerability in Guayaquil's poorest neighborhoods, delivering a holistic intervention model organized around four fields of action: cognitive-emotional, social, educational, and health-nutrition. Core programs include the Programa de Intervención para Romper el Ciclo de Violencia Intrafamiliar (direct psychosocial therapy, family accompaniment, and educational reintegration), the Club de Chicas for girls' empowerment, the Programa de Apadrinamiento (corporate child sponsorship covering therapy, food baskets, school supplies), and the Programa de Fortalecimiento de Salud y Bienestar.

The technical foundation of JUCONI's work is the proprietary Metodología JUCONI, a psychosocial intervention framework grounded in Attachment and Trauma theories, developed and implemented by director Sylvia Reyes. The methodology combines home visits by psychology teams, community workshops, and therapeutic interventions, and is operationalized for external replication through the Centro de Formación y Asesoría, established in 1999 to train other national and international organizations. The methodology has been formally validated by UNESCO, the World Bank, Ashoka, International Service, MIES, and international human rights bodies, and the organization has received the MBE from Queen Elizabeth II (2004) and the International Human Rights Service Award (2010). Disclosed impact outcomes include 95% of served children maintaining formal education after reintegration, 78% of working children leaving street labor, and 80% of accompanied families reducing or eliminating situations of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.

JUCONI operates entirely on a donation-funded revenue model, with no products or services sold. Income streams include individual donations (channeled through the GlobalGiving platform and direct contributions), corporate sponsorships and CSR partnerships (ICT, KNH, Transoceánica, Agripac, Mane, ONE), and international organizational alliances. Distribution is direct service delivery: weekly home visits, community workshops, and on-ground interventions in Guayaquil, with methodology dissemination internationally through the training center. The organization employs 16 people and maintains a single headquarters at General Córdova 623 y Padre Solano, Guayaquil.
