          Our Strategies
 
 

 

As a young and growing organization we recognize that we must collaborate with other Non-Governmental Organizations, community groups, Universities, volunteer groups and government agencies. Our strategy is to work in a participatory manner together with these groups to realize integrated sustainable projects. Our specific strategies to accomplish this includes the following:

- Jointly design and implement projects with community groups, local stakeholders and partner organizations (See our partners)

- Motivate and improve capacities of local citizens to organize and plan projects creating spaces for long-term social change

- Promote spaces for dialogue and participation among local beneficiaries

- Utilize resources of foreign interns with practical knowledge alongside
Ecuadorian students to further an exchange of ideas for mutual benefit (See internship possibilities)
 
- Work in an integrated way that confronts the reality of poverty and deprivation in Ecuador (See our approach and methodology)

Sustainable community development projects in Ecuador carried out in an integrated and collaborative manner, seeking to empower local communities and stakeholders to actively engage with processes of development for the benefit of their community. Volunteers and interns work with Yanapuma staff to promote participation and offer the tools, training and resources necessary to carry out projects that benefit poor, indigenous and marginalized communities in Ecuador. We seek funding and partnerships from international organizations, non-profits, NGO's, foundations and other institutions to carry out our work efficiently and effectively, promoting sustainable community development that protects the environment and improves prospects for the future of the community.
