A commitment to the children of Ecuador!

Fundación Ecuador Crece Contigo is created as a strategic think tank to stunting.

We contribute knowledge, strategies and actions that strengthen the capacities of the state, civil society, academia, international cooperation and the private sector, individually or jointly, with the objective of reducing the indicators of stunting.
We promote initiatives to prevent and reduce stunting inside and outside the country.
We influence national and local governments to develop and sustain effective strategies and public policies against stunting.

Governing -leading a country- only makes sense because it allows us to serve citizens and change their reality, especially that of those who most need the State's attention and care, such as the children of Ecuador.
Guillermo Lasso Mendoza, former President of the Republic of Ecuador
