Ecuador Day Care Improvement Project

Quito has drawn thousands from poor rural districts in search of work. However, even though Quito is a well-developed city, there simply are not enough jobs. As a result, many make their living by selling goods at one of the local markets. Children in these families often grow-up living on the streets while their parents work.

There are several day care centers that assist these families providing their children a safe environment with three meals a day and basic education. However, as most of these are small independent centers, they are often in need of help. Our groups this summer will help to improve the centers by adding play areas, painting and conducting general repairs. There will also be ample opportunity for coordinating games and helping with daily chores.
