Fundación Humana Pueblo a Pueblo-Ecuador

What Fundación Humana Pueblo a Pueblo-Ecuador does

Fundación Humana Pueblo a Pueblo Ecuador (FHPPE) is a non-profit foundation registered in Ecuador in 2008 and headquartered in Quito, operating as the Ecuadorian member of The Federation Humana People to People. Its functional mission is to implement community-led development projects in rural and peri-urban Ecuador, with thematic pillars spanning sustainable agriculture, food security, gender equality, early childhood development, elderly and disability care, environmental conservation, and circular economy. Its primary beneficiaries are small-scale rural farmers, indigenous and Montubio communities, rural women, children aged 0–6, elderly persons, and coastal fishing households across 9 provinces (Pichincha, Tungurahua, Bolívar, Chimborazo, Manabí, Guayas, El Oro, Loja, Zamora Chinchipe).

Its core service platform is the Clubes de Agricultores (Farmers' Clubs) methodology, supported by program modules including Biofábrica Comunitaria (production of beneficial microorganisms and biofertilizers), Huertitos Sensoriales (sensory gardens for early childhood), Centros de Desarrollo Infantil (CDI), child labor eradication, home and community care for persons with disabilities, and Atención Domiciliaria a Adultos Mayores (home care for the elderly). Repiensa Reusa is a sub-brand running a textile-recycling and circular-economy initiative. Operations are supported by 46 employees and two offices (Quito and Milagro, Guayas).

The business model is grant-funded development: revenue derives from international cooperation grants and project-based co-financing from donors such as AECID, Ayuntamiento de Madrid, Swiss Welfare Organisation, the Embassies of Australia and Czechia, Kindermissionswerk, Pöschl Stiftung, Fundación CRISFE, Xunta de Galicia, CAF, GCBC/DAI, and Ecuadorian government partners (MIES, multiple GAD municipalities). No fees are charged to beneficiaries; donor contribution account is maintained at Banco Pichincha. The distribution model is direct field implementation through community organizations, farmers' clubs, and government-anchored service delivery.
