Ecuasol
Ecuasol is a civil society initiative born in 2002, made official in 2006, and operates in Quito with the aim of enabling vulnerable children, through comprehensive support, to access quality education and improve their socio-economic situation. This project is recognized by the Ecuadorian government and in 2009 it became part of the French platform of the NGO La Guilde Européenne du Raid, registered as an organization for public utility by the French State. The project offers economic and psychological support to families while providing school reinforcement, cultural experiences, and medical follow-up, to the children and adolescents it hosts. In order to create the conditions necessary for successful schooling, and to promote a harmonious personal development of children and adolescents. Consisting of about 15 participating staff and volunteers, Plan Ecuasol welcomes approximately 60 children, adolescents and young people between the ages of 6 and 22 years old, and provides support to over 50 families. All of them live in the neighborhoods of La Roldós, Pisullí and Tiwinza, in the northest area of Quito.
