Plan Ecuador
Plan started working in Ecuador in 1963, in the slum areas of the City of Guayaquil. Today, more than 400,000 children participate in our projects across Azuay, Cañar, Guayas, Bolívar, Manabí, Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Loja, Los Ríos and Pichincha provinces.
We work in 1,000 communities, promoting rights and a decent life for children and their families.
Our main target groups are children and teenagers who live in situations of inequality and vulnerability, and whose rights are infringed, as well as workers with disabilities and other groups in need of special protection.
Where we work in Ecuador
Plan’ core areas of activity include:
- promoting safe, healthy, affectionate and stimulating environments for children.
- improving food security
- supporting a ‘good treatment culture’ among children, teenagers and adults
- fostering spaces for children and teenagers to express themselves and participate in decisions affecting their lives.
