CENIT | Quito is a brand dedicated to improving the lives of working children and adolescents in Ecuador. They offer a range of programs and services aimed at addressing the challenges faced by these vulnerable individuals. Working children and adolescents are those under the age of 18 who engage in profitable activities or begging in public spaces.

In Quito, these activities typically include street vending, shoe shining, entertainment, and general labor. CENIT recognizes that these young individuals face numerous obstacles, including physical and mental health issues, vulnerability to exploitation, and a lack of educational opportunities. Through their Outreach, Tutoring, Primary School, Family Programs, and Health Services departments, CENIT provides support and resources to help improve the well-being of these children.

While promoting education as a priority, CENIT also understands the economic circumstances of these families and allows the children to work part-time while attending school. Through their programs, CENIT strives to reduce the hours worked by each child, creating an environment where education and better opportunities can flourish
