Church World Service (CWS) is a cooperative ministry of Christian denominations and providing sustainable self-help, development, disaster relief, and refugee assistance around the world. In Uruguay, the program helps children who work in trash collection to raise their self-esteem and use of public services for them and their families, while organizing groups on health and environmental protection. CWS works directly with children and their families in the Malvin Norte area of Montevideo and also involves members of local organizations, teachers, health workers and other public. As a result, 120 children and adolescents no longer work in the collection and classification of trash and another 80 reduced the hours involved in this work, which allow them to increase their school attendance and participation in sports and other recreational activities.
