General donations are very important to ECHO; they help pay for expenses like the electric bill, food in the cafeteria, and facility maintenance for organizations in Ecuador whom we support. These funds are critically important in helping keep their doors open, and lights on (literally). 100% of general donations will go directly to an organization in Ecuador directly serving vulnerable children.

Your donation of any amount makes a huge difference.
