The main object of the “Soforthilfe La Paz” at the present is to look after the children of the streets of the city. The work done at the contact centre in the middle of the city, which opened in 1999, was greatly extended in 2001. This centre in the city is a place where any kind of homeless children can meet up. These children have the opportunity to get a meal here, to have a shower, to be cheered up or be given advice, and to get medical treatment or just play.
