Ecuador: New Achievements in Rural Communities
31-07-2025
Humana People to People Ecuador Foundation has recently achieved various milestones in community organization, international cooperation, and technical engagement that strengthen the economic leadership of women and their families.
The first of these achievements is that the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock has awarded the Mabio seal to the “Quisacuy” Work Center in Quisapincha, which guarantees the safety of the meat produced there—excellent news that opens up opportunities for commercialization and export. This initiative boosts the local economy, promotes the use of inputs produced within the same community, and strengthens the circular economy model that the project aims to consolidate.
According to Humana People to People Ecuador Foundation, this achievement is the result of joint work with the Corporation for Production, Transformation, and Internal and External Commercialization “Pushak Kawsay – Copuka” and local communities. It is part of the project “Promoting the empowerment and social, economic, and cultural leadership of Kichwa women in the province of Tungurahua, Ecuador” funded by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), Humana, and our local partner in Ecuador.
“These actions not only strengthen the productive capacities of participating families but also consolidate sustainable community networks that support economic, social, and environmental development in the rural areas of Tungurahua,” the Ecuadorian organization affirms.
Seeds of Wisdom
In addition, Humana People to People Ecuador Foundation has launched the second phase of the project “Seeds of Wisdom: Cultivating Skills in Children and Youth” in the Pichincha-Manabí canton, funded by Kindermissionswerk.
“In this new phase, we are benefiting 130 children and young people,” says our local partner, adding: “We promote not only sports but also fundamental values such as respect, solidarity, peaceful conflict resolution, and harmonious coexistence. Thanks to the commitment of all the institutions involved, the project is being reactivated with greater strength, contributing to community development through play, learning, and peace. We reaffirm our commitment to continue creating safe and educational spaces that strengthen the lives of the communities we walk alongside every day.”
Self-Care Spaces
On another front, the Ecuadorian organization has promoted self-care spaces aimed at women and men farmers in the province of Tungurahua, as part of the strengthening of the five Leadership Schools that are part of the project “Promoting the empowerment and social, economic, and cultural leadership of Kichwa women in the province of Tungurahua.”
These schools held two sessions focused on emotional well-being, addressing topics such as stress and anxiety management, as well as emotional intelligence applied to personal and professional development. The main goal of these gatherings was to foster understanding and management of emotions, promoting healthier relationships, effective communication, and better tools for conflict resolution.
