RIEcuador

RIEcuador is a registered, tax-exempt, charitable organization established in Ecuador since 2014. This organization benefits children living in extreme poverty in the canton of Gualaceo, in the province of Azuay, Ecuador, by providing those children with opportunities and experiences otherwise unavailable to them. RIEcuador supplies indigent children with supplies necessary for them to attend school; andFunds and organizes field trips to educational sites and locations outside the children’s villages to expand their knowledge and world views.

WHAT WE DO:

RIEcuador’s Sponsor a Child program designates contributions from donors to individual children to ensure each has all the tools she or he needs to receive her or his education, and to enable us to bring new experiences to all the participants. We accomplish this by:

  1. Purchasing and providing uniforms and supplies necessary for each child to attend and remain in school.

  2. Funding and organizing annual field trips to an educational location outside of the children’s villages.

HOW IT WORKS:

Your financial contribution at any level below will cover the cost of the basic fees and supplies these children need to attend and stay in school and the cost of RIEcuador's annual field trip. Greater contributions will pay for shoes and school uniforms (an essential and often unattainable item for attendance in public school). All of these are costs their families simply cannot afford. The sponsorship levels are:

  • $100 – Basic Support Pays for a child’s school supplies (the full, government‑issued list of required materials).

  • $150 – Essential Support Pays for a child’s shoes, school supplies (comprehensive government‑issued list), and includes books and calculators when required.

  • $250 – Full Support Pays for a child’s school uniform, shoes, school supplies (comprehensive government‑issued list), and includes books and calculators when required.

  • Donate any amount: All additional donations will be used to provide children with basic hygiene items and food/snack baskets.
