| Trip Overview
Lifetree Adventures, along with its local partner organization, reaches out to impoverished families and orphans by providing daycare and feeding programs that serve the many kids who come to our partner’s facility each day. More than just food or shelter for the day, the extension of compassion gives new hope and encouragement to the thousands of people who live near the facility. You’ll be humbled by their gratitude for the simplest of life’s necessities, while being transformed yourself by a greater appreciation of all you have back home.
Another dimension of the Ecuador adventure is working with small business owners who are utilizing micro-economic resources to improve their standard of living, support their families and create jobs in the region. A little bit goes a long way here as these small-scale entrepreneurs bring economic vitality to their towns and villages. This effort includes helping these local entrepreneurs as well as pastors-in-training improve their English language skills through nighttime classes. Your impact here will be felt for generations to come. |
Imagine a mother who doesn’t have enough food to put on the table each night. The painful dilemma of either working to support her family or caring for her children is a choice she has to make every day. And even if she chooses to work, she can just barely get by. This is the situation for many parents in Ecuador.
