In addition to traveling to Ecuador each summer, an important part of the Building Bridges with Ecuador effort is spending most of the year working hard to organize an effective humanitarian team. To provide materials for the team, we raise money throughout the year for supplies and collect pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, first aid and dental supplies as well as school and educational supplies.
We are always fundraising. The more funds we can raise for our trip, the more indigenous people in Ecuador we can serve. Our work relies heavily on donations from businesses and individuals who are interested in supporting the humanitarian goals of this Ecuador program.
Whether you are a current team member, alumni of the trip, or someone who is interested but unable to be part of the team, we encourage you to make a donation to the trip supply fund. Your donation is tax deductible and 100% of your donation is used to purchase construction, education, and medical supplies to make the Building Bridges experience both effective and rewarding.
