A target of $ 50,000 CAD
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, the Children’s Foundation of Ecuador (ETF) has decided to do the big thing and to climb Chimborazo, the highest mountain in Ecuador, with its 6,300 meters d ‘altitude. A maximum of 15 participants may participate in the Ecuador Expedition which will take place from 10 to 20 November 2017.
The goal of this expedition is to raise $ 50,000 for the activities of the FEE. This amount will allow the Foundation to finance the expenses related to the increase in the number of children in the center (10 more this year), the development of English courses, computer science, Sewing center at the women’s center, maintenance of the new cybercafé available free of charge to single mothers and their children, as well as the provision of a library of local literature. In total, these activities will benefit more than 400 people from the community of Pascuales. Each participant will be responsible for his / her own travel expenses and contribute to fundraising. Nevertheless, we are looking for partners who wish to play a leading role in contributing financially to this adventure.
