Our mission is to provide financial and administrative assistance to responsible charitable human service organizations in and surrounding the city of Cuenca to ensure their sustainability and growth.
Our vision is to make a difference in people’s lives by developing an infrastructure that can deliver a higher volume and quality of human services on an ongoing basis for the working poor of Ecuador.
