About Snow Angels in Ecuador

About Us

Snow Angels in Ecuador is one of only a few 501 c 3, tax exempt entities, based in the United States, and devoted to working exclusively within the country of Ecuador. As one of many countries almost devoid of the necessary infrastructure to meet its population’s social service needs, Ecuador requires whatever assistance we can provide. Snow Angels in Ecuador is here to help fill that need.

Happy Ecuadorian boy.

Our Mission

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.
