Cost Efficient Charity
For every $1 that is contributed to Helping Kids in Ecuador the children receive $5 to $10 of benefits.
This is possible because the doctors donate their services for free and as a result, they are by far our largest donors.
Helping Kids in Ecuador pays for supplies, medicine, transportation, lodging and other out of pocket expenses.
As a result, our average cost of 95% of our life changing surgeries, procedures and treatments is approximately $500. Additionally, since all of our people are volunteers working out of their homes our operating expenses are less than 1% of donations received.
