Mary’s Meals feeds more than 350 children every school day in Ecuador!
Ecuador is generally a relatively prosperous nation, ranking 88 out of 193 countries and territories in the Human Development Index (HDI).
The country is highly susceptible to natural disasters such as earthquakes, droughts, floods, landslides, and volcanic activity, and has experienced increasing violence and slowing economic growth in recent years.
