About Us

Picture
We are a non-profit corporation founded in 2014, based in California.
We provide medical and nutritional services to children in Ecuador who would not otherwise be able to receive those necessary services.
 
​
We are affiliated with Fundación Rostros Felices, an Ecuadorian non-profit organization that has been performing surgeries throughout Ecuador for over 25 years. We also work with Hospital del Rio, the main hospital in Cuenca, Ecuador.

Vision
Help build a better society by reaching and helping minority children in Ecuador who cannot access proper healthcare treatment.​

Mission
Provide medical attention and services to children in need in Ecuador. 

OBJECTIVES
  • Identify children with health and nutritional needs, to analyze the suggested treatment or help. 
  • To contribute to the wellbeing of families in Ecuador whose children have health issues that need proper attention.
  • Provide support to the children and their families with a follow up protocol after being treated.
  • Raise awareness of the need that children in Ecuador have for prompt medical attention.
  • Obtain support and sponsorship from people that want to give their help but do not know how to reach children in need.
  • Promote alliances to achieve our goals in areas such as medical, professional, and other.
  • To create successful fundraising campaigns, grant participation and activities and obtain help from individuals and / or corporations in order to invest them into our kids, to have a great impact in their lives in the short and long term.
  • Recruit helpers and sponsors, and get promises of participation from individuals or corporate donors.
  • Conduct studies on various health issues from time to time, gather data, and carry out research as well as to participate in presentation of papers and articles.
  • To associate itself with any other institution, having objectives wholly or in part, similar to those of this Society and to co-operate with any person or body of persons in furtherance of such objectives.

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.
