We are an independent, non-religious and politically neutral non-governmental
organization (NGO) working towards improving the living conditions of
disadvantaged children and families in Ecuadorian communities (South America).
CIELO AZUL (Blue Sky in Spanish) began working in Ecuador in the year 2000.
Since then, various projects in more than 20 indigenous communities around
Otavalo have been initiated.
Our work is based on the fundamental right to education according to Human
Rights Conventions. Our projects aim to give people this right by helping them
to help themselves, with the goal of making individuals and communities
independent by giving them skills that they can use throughout their lives.
It is important to us that all of our activities are carried out in
collaboration with the local inhabitants; only then are lasting and fruitful
relationships established, providing the foundations for successful projects.
To obtain these goals, we support volunteers willing to work and live with the
communities where we have established projects. We offer motivated and creative
people the opportunity to use their capabilities to the benefit of the
indigenous population and, under expert guidance, will help volunteers to find a
suitable role in one of our various projects. |
