Provoked by the debt crises of the 1980s, working children became a common sight on the streets of Quito and all over most Latin American cities. Since this phenomenon began, many programs and centres have been formed to assist these children focusing almost exclusively on male children. In 1989, frustrated by the lack of attention paid to the specific problems confronted by working girls, a group of concerned Ecuadorian citizens founded Centro de la Niña Trabajadora (CENIT). Centro de la Niña Trabajadora (known by its initials in Spanish as CENNIT) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization founded in 1991 by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. CENNIT uses educational and vocational programs to help working girls and their families overcome grinding poverty and improve the quality of their lives. The result is generations of working women with the education and skills to form healthy families that contribute to a more just and productive society.
