National Movement of Street Children, Messengers of Peace and Save the Children

Prince of Asturias Award for Concord 1994

Bearing in mind that peace and harmony are the result of the integration of people into a just social order in which they may realise their aspirations as human beings.

These three charitable organisations, which centre their activities on aid for minors with problems, in situations of poverty or isolation, are the winners of the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord 1994.

Brazil´s Movimiento Nacional de Meninos e Meninas da Rua, is the most important Brazilian association of this kind and the one which enjoys greatest prestige. It was created in 1985 by a group of educators, through a meeting promoted by UNICEF. Co-ordinated by the journalist Mario Volpi, it has more than 3,000 educators, working in twenty Brazilian states. This movement bases its work on detecting the children, forming them into teams and carrying out teaching activities which will help them to make a future for themselves and to free themselves from the world of violence and persecution which they often suffer. The Movement works habitually with Amnesty International and other organisations which focus on the struggle from human rights and for the welfare of children.

A member of the International Child Protection Agency, Mensajeros de la Paz´s main activity is to shelter youngsters who, due to serious family problems or other kinds of problem, live away from home, in the different functional homes which the association has. In the Functional Homes the activity carried on is as close as possible to that of a natural family, and all the homes make use of the communities means to integrate the sheltered youngsters.
