Give Hope to Vulnerable Ecuadorian Children

Dear donors,

It is a true honor to reach out to you and express our deepest gratitude for your continued support. Thanks to your generous contributions, we have been able to continue providing comprehensive and high-quality care to the children and adolescents in our foundation, promoting their well-being, development, and autonomy.

Over the past quarter, we have experienced a period of significant growth, focusing our efforts on empowering children and their families. Through various programs and workshops, we have worked to strengthen their decision-making abilities, encourage confident self-expression, and foster active participation in their communities.

We have also concentrated on promoting autonomy and awareness of their rights, teaching them to identify, defend, and value both their own interests and those of others. This has been made possible through specially designed spaces that foster peaceful conflict resolution, critical thinking, and emotional self-regulation.

In the educational sphere, we have intensified our personalized support, ensuring that each child and adolescent receives the tools they need to advance in their learning process and overcome challenges. In addition, we have implemented preventive workshops on substance use, providing adolescents with key information and practical strategies to make healthy choices and avoid harmful behaviors.

Thanks to your ongoing commitment, we are witnessing the growth of children and young people who are more confident, resilient, and full of hope. Your contribution is making a real and sustainable impact, helping to break cycles of poverty and vulnerability, and planting the seeds for a more just and promising future.

On behalf of the entire team at Fundación El Arenal and especially every child who is part of this community thank you for believing in us!

With gratitude,

María Elizabeth Barreto
Executive Director
Fundación El Arenal
