We removed the roof on the school March 26th. Sad to say, the roof was ready to collapse and all the wood beams for the roof are destroyed with termites… not a pretty sight!
The 21 pre-school children between the ages of 6 months and 4 ½ years old were moved to another building for their safety.
They are sitting on mattresses in two small rooms and do not have access to their normal school environment and this is extremely upsetting to them… as you can imagine.
Ecuador Project Hope is a small group of people doing big things for the Indigenous preschools with your support.
Donated funds for this project are short $3,000 because of the additional cost to replace the roof and all the destroyed wood and ceiling.
We need to get the children back in their classroom as soon as possible. And we need your help!
Here is a list of the building materials that we need.
With enough donations we can do a large concrete patio in front of the school. The outside area is dirt and with our heavy rains it becomes mud. We are in need of concrete, sand and rocks.

I have a wonderful group of Indigenous workers under the direction of a Maestro (superintendent). Our labor is very inexpensive. Labor for 3 weeks, 3 men working and provided lunch at the cost of $1,140 for the entire 3 weeks. You heard me right – compare that price to the US or Canada.
Ecuador Project Hope has 50% of the money to complete this school. No matter how small your donation a $1.00 goes a long ways in accomplishing the completion of a school. Please join us on this journey. We will give a weekly report with photos showing our progress.
You’ve seen the pictures revealing the dire need for improved facilities and may be able to imagine our kids attending the same pre school. And we know how all of us take our standard of living for granted – Well…
Just picture how exciting it will be for these young children to have a great learning environment. What a contrast to what they have now.
