The Cuenca Foundation
The Cuenca Foundation—formerly the Cuenca Soup Kitchen—provides hope and support to people who lack resources, helping them to work towards a more stable future. As a registered 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to uplifting those in need in Cuenca, Ecuador, the Foundation operates solely on the generosity of donors, channeling contributions into vital resources that fuel operations of its two primary programs:
These initiatives embody the foundation’s goal to support beyond food, including education, hygiene, healthcare, and disaster relief. Ours is a holistic approach, which we believe makes a substantial and compassionate difference in the lives of individuals and families facing adversity in Cuenca.
We help bridge the gaps of inequality in food security, education, and healthcare in Cuenca. But more importantly we instill hope in those who need it most.
