Donation.
The donation form is a vital component of the Wichana Foundation's efforts to drive positive change in communities. Our donation form serves as an easy and secure channel for our supporters to contribute financially to various initiatives that empower women and promote cultural preservation in Ecuador. Donors can choose specific projects to support or opt for general contributions, helping ensure that resources are allocated where they are most needed.
Fund
Allocation.
Your donations are essential in determining how we allocate resources to maximize the impact of our programs within communities. Wichana and our Partners do not hold large reserves and we fund our work with the donations you make. You can donate to specific initiatives or donate to Wichana’s general reserves. At Wichana, we prioritize funding initiatives that empower women, enhance health and education, and preserve culture. Each donation, whether large or small, plays a critical role in allowing us to continue our mission to support community-based programs in Ecuador.
“There is much scholarship about the difference between simply “giving something” to an impoverished person(s)-something you think they might need, to actually providing funds to community organizations that intrinsically understand what a community needs. Wichana Foundation is exactly that kind of community organization. The Board of Directors has empowered local leaders to be the experts “on the ground.” These leaders communicate with the various program organizers and impacted communities to gain insights that are integral to the Wichana strategic prioritizing and planning goals.”
Sarah Cox, Wichana Board member and co-founder
I am excited to be a part of the Wichana team because it is an organization that has a respectful and committed approach to assisting rural indigenous communities of Ecuador, and recognizes the values, diversity, and changes these communities live through over time. This local support, the inter-institutional work, and direct coordination with women and men of different generations make Wichana dynamic, able to grow and support high impact initiatives. Wichana and our partners’ projects effectively promote community and human development, and indigenous rights.”
