La Hesperia Biological Station & Reserve recently completed La Hesperia Children Nursery! Their new project is now to create an elementary school for the local children inside the reserve and they are actively seeking donations for this purpose.

Alexandra from La Hesperia says that sustainable development is closely linked to education:

“At the station we work on three interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars of sustainable development: environmental protection, economic development and social development. In order to achieve these aims, education is essential—not only as isolated environmental education activities but as an integral system, starting with children of a young age, to encourage their environmental consciences, leadership, and respect of human rights. The staff at the new school will accompany the children throughout this amazing process."

We need your help:

By working with local partners GVN Foundation is able to have a direct impact on the day-to-day lives of children in Ecuador. Together with La Hesperia we also constantly strive to find sustainable, innovative solutions to local problems.  However, we rely entirely upon donors like you who recognize that change always begins with individuals. Please make a donation to help us with our current projects.

Please note your donation will go into a 'general projects fund' to be used to assist our partner. In all instances we strive to send funds to the stated program above but in the event of a greater need or change in program needs GVNF will determine the destination of funds. By proceeding you agree with the Foundation's refund policy as stated in our legal terms of service
