ECF’s work in Ecuador

We are primarily active in Putumayo, a district in the north of the Ecuadorian Amazonian rainforest, right on the border with Colombia and Peru. It is one of the most remote, disenfranchised and insatiable areas where basic needs like education and medical care are minimal.

How we work together in Ecuador

We work very closely with our partner hospital, Quina Care, in Putumayo. Besides Ecuadorian and Colombian Putumayo inhabitants, Quina Care also provides care to the people in the nearby district of Cuyabeno. Thousands of people live in this region, which has very few facilities. Our local partner improves the medical care in Putumayo and makes it more accessible. ECF supports eye care with advice, various materials and medical instruments.

Donations make our work possible

Our activities for good eye care are possible through active funding. Eye Care Foundation runs entirely on donations, large and small. Donations make our work possible; without them, these regions have no opportunities for good eye care. We use our donations directly for all our activities.
