breaking the cycle of poverty. together.
The Reality
4 in 10 Ecuadorians don't have enough food, healthcare, education, or housing.
nearly half of Ecuadorian children live below the poverty line.
The Response
A family doesn't break the cycle of poverty alone. We are a family of families: two organizations, the team in Quito, and supporters across the U.S.
The Center – A Family of Families has accompanied and empowered the most vulnerable in Quito, Ecuador for more than 60 years. Walking alongside families, providing programs in education, job training, food security, medical care, and more.
Grounded in love, solidarity, justice, faith, and dignity.
The Center for Working Families (C4WF) exists so the work in Quito continues. In the U.S., we fuel the funding, create awareness, and run year-long volunteer and service-learning programs.
Giving, volunteering, visiting, or sharing the story isn't supporting the work. It's being part of it.
The Result
75% of families served break the cycle of poverty.
Since 1964, more than 6,000 families have done it. Today, The Center walks with 325 more.
Last year alone:
510 students learning, preschool through high school
55,000 meals served
23,000 hours of volunteer service
147 visitors who came to see the work
This is what the work makes possible.
