About Our Organization

Ecuador Volunteer Foundation is a non-profit organization legally recognized by the Government of Ecuador, which was constituted through the ministerial agreement No.0350 on October 10, 2005. Currently it is the only organization authorized to select and supply volunteers to third party organizations providing their services in social, community, educational, healthcare and ecological programs throughout Ecuador.

Due to the socioeconomic needs from which much of the Ecuadorian population suffers (as in other Latin American countries) many different sectors have found themselves in need of governmental and private help in order to get by. For this reason, ECUADOR VOLUNTEER, through the volunteer work of young people as well as adults around the world, collaborates with different organizations to carry out projects that promote development in the developing sectors.
