About Us
Enable-USA, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization
created to improve the lives of victims of the struggle
against drugs in Colombia, South America. It is
estimated that 11,000 enslaved children, from the age of 12
to 18, are among the 40,000 soldiers fighting in this
war. Nearly all are captured in raids or sold to
militias by parents who cannot afford to feed their
children.
 Recently the government began a program that offers
complete amnesty to enslaved children who defect from their
units and enter a four year re-insertion program. These
children have little or no family connections, limited
involvement in primary school and lack marketable skills
outside of agriculture. Participants receive medical and
psychological evaluation and treatment, enrollment in
school and possible inclusion in an Occupational
Rehabilitation Program that includes greeting card
production, jewelry making and woodworking.
 This is where we enter the picture. The Colombian
government asked Enable-USA to be a part of this
collaborative re-entry effort. We oversee the marketing
of materials, such as cards and wall hangings, produced
by these escaped children. Our role is to get the
word out about this worthy cause.
Our program is endorsed by the Ministry of Justice,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Colombian Ambassador to the
USA and tens of thousands of people who want the war on
drugs to stop.
Will you help us spread the word? The cards shown on
this site are made by these children as part of their
re-entry into civil society. Read more about the program
and
then contact us to participate. We greatly appreciate
your donation or purchase of these cards.

Each year, the drug wars in Colombia abduct the
childhood from thousands of little ones. Without the
nurture of a loving family, the ability to grow in a
safe environment and the benefit of an education, their
lives are bankrupt. You have the ability to help us
offer them a second chance at life. Please
join us in this humanitarian effort by providing a way
of escape for these young people so they can
successfully rebuild their lives and contribute to
society. Click Here to get involved
