We want to live in the Southeast part of Ecuador to establish a co op/work share type farm that would enable us to donate crops/livestock to orphanages. We would also like to foster/adopt if it is a possibility. Our 2 youngest children (15 yo F & 11 yo M) would be moving with us. We are open to advice, suggestions, ideas, warnings... Anything to help us along the path. Thank you

You're speaking my language! I too am not yet in Ecuador and have asked questions about adopting and fostering as well as Non-profit and shelter type of services so I am quite like-minded.?? Haven't had any replies as of yet. B?la-Sofia

It is difficult to find information about fostering/adopting and serving kids. I will continue to dig and research.

fostering and adopting is very complicated and will take a LOT of time and frustration.

If you want to setup an actual charity, again, timely and frustration.

Be warned.

Do you speak fluent spanish? Without it, or a local to do it all for you, it's very very unlikely to happen.

If you just want to donate food to orphanages, they will be happy to take it

May be more possibilities now to help orphans due to children left without families due to covid or some of the natural disasters.

Not really. It's still tough to foster
