A Permanent Safety Net in the Heart of the Community
Because Change Happens Every Day—Not Just on Weekends.
In the neighborhoods of Pisulí (Quito) and Flor de Bastión (Guayaquil) and our newer projects of Cumbijn (Salcedo) and Puerto Ayora (Galapagos), the distance between a child and their future is often measured by access. Access to a doctor, access to a nutritious meal, and access to a safe place to learn.
Camp Emmanuel is our answer to that need. We don't just "visit" these communities; we are part of the fabric of the neighborhood. Our permanent community centers serve as a lighthouse of hope for over 400 children and 250 families every single week.
The Three Pillars of Camp Emmanuel
1. Education and Spiritual Discipleship
Camp Emmanuel is a place of discovery. Every Saturday, our halls are filled with the sound of lessons, laughter, and prayer.
Gospel-Centered Mentorship: Every child is taught that they are created with purpose. We aren't just building better students; we are building people of character.
Educational Success: Our students are consistently recognized as the top of their classes in the national school system.
