FOOD FOR THE NEEDED AND EMERGENCY AID
Every year we receive in-kind donations and send aid and food supplies to those in need. Also, in times of crisis and emergency such as natural disasters, local crisis, and the pandemic, we send supplies to communities who are affected. We have helped over 8,000 people in Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, and the United States.
VOLUNTEER AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM FOR YOUTH
Since 2016, we have been offering volunteer programs for youth in Miami. We have different programs for middle and high school students who are looking to make a difference and obtain community hours. They include: participating in the logistics of food drives, helping in events, and working with the community.
We also have a great opportunity to make change, while working from home, through our Virtual Volunteer Program. Here students can connect with low-income children in Ecuador who are living in a foster organization and be their “buddies”. Students connect through Zoom with the children in Ecuador and help them learn basic English and provide a friendly space for their buddies. Volunteers also help improve the facilities of the home the Ecuadorian children live in, by participating in fundraising campaigns.
For volunteers who want to go even further in their ability to create change, we have a social entrepreneurship program, where we sponsor and support, innovative ideas the youth have, to make an impact. We have had volunteers develop training programs in coding, lead computer drives for underprivileged children, create campaigns to send soccer supplies, use graphic design abilities, among many others. Through this program we seek to unlock potential and passion to participate in social change.
Since its creation, we have had over 420 volunteers and channeled over 6,000 community hours.
CLEAN WATER, SANITATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SCHOOLS
In Ecuador, in the rural areas we work in, more than 60% of the population live in extreme poverty. Many children lack the opportunity to have a quality education, access to clean water and basic sanitary conditions. That is why we help take clean water and sanitation to low-income schools, and help improve their infrastructure, the classrooms, equipment, educational material, playground and facilities. Also, we invest in the school´s educational program and take it to another level. We have helped over 1,500 children in Ecuador have access to the schools and education they deserve.
In Venezuela, we work in alliance with a local organization to build and renew soccer and sports fields in marginated, high risk, low-income neighborhoods. In these soccer fields, children and youth attend after-school sports programs that help build competencies and keep them off the streets and illegal activities. We have benefited over 700 children in these programs.
