The population of Colombia is still feeling the impact of the internal armed conflict that began in the 1960s. Displaced people have taken refuge in makeshift shelters and communities with limited resources (no water, no electricity, hygiene articles, etc). Most of the refugees have lost family to the conflict. There are many women that loose their husbands and they have to bring up their children on her own, alone, in a different country In Pampanal, a Colombian refugee community in Ecuador, near the border with Colombia, the living conditions are very poor, but at least they live in peace.
