Reduce Work Hours for Ecuador's Street Children

Holá Donors!

It’s been a busy couple of months for us here at UBECI! As we approach July and August, we expect to be at our peak, meaning we need as much help as we can get. To date, we have raised $38,938 with your help on GlobalGiving! Each day staff and volunteers get on a bus and go to various markets, carrying canopies, mats, toys, school supplies and sports equipment; and set up an area to provide educational, social and recreational services. With your donations, our outreach to the children has been more successful than ever. 

We are now working on an Opticular campaign to be able to get glasses for children that cannot otherwise afford it. We previously worked on a dental campaign, which was successful with your help! Each year UBECI provides dental services to as many children as possible. UBECI works with local dentists who divide dental services, which already cost much less than dental services in the US, at an even larger reduced rate, so as many children as possible receive dental care based on the individual dental needs of the children. Having dental care is essential for a child’s overall health, which enables a child to benefit more from the education services and helps greatly with self concept and an ability to be successful in life. Now, with the Opticular campaign, the same can be accomplished for the children of UBECI. It is important for children to be getting Opticular checks to make sure they are healthy- and to provide glasses to those that need it.

Please consider donating to our Opticular campaign, which will ensure glasses and checkups to the UBECI children!
