CEF in Action

Can you imagine a newborn baby sleeping on the floor, shivering with cold? This is the harsh reality for many vulnerable babies living in extreme poverty. Today, we embark on a mission to change their story.

Background:

Annually, nearly 250,000 babies are born in Ecuador, representing the hope of a new beginning for many families. However, behind this joy lies a challenging and often hidden reality. With a national poverty rate of 27.0% and extreme poverty at 10.8%, around 25,000 newborns each year begin life under conditions of extreme poverty and vulnerability.

According to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) of Ecuador, in 2020, approximately 13,835 babies were born into vulnerable conditions. In 2021, out of a total of 235,384 births, 13.7% (32,101) occurred under precarious circumstances due to family poverty. These figures fluctuate annually, influenced by various socioeconomic and public health factors.

Thousands of these newborns are exposed to chronic child malnutrition and a lack of essential resources for healthy physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Structural poverty, limited access to healthcare, and the absence of support networks significantly increase their risk of developmental delays, preventable illnesses, and social exclusion from the earliest stages of life.

Despite existing government programs and public policies aimed at addressing chronic child malnutrition and social vulnerability, there is still much to be done. Every child deserves a fair start in life—one filled with care, safety, and hope. Ensuring that all babies grow up in healthy and supportive environments is not just a moral imperative but a critical investment in the future of Ecuador.

Purpose:

AMAKÁ emerges as a beacon of hope for these little ones. With the fundamental goal of assisting vulnerable babies, our foundation commits to providing comprehensive support: material, emotional, and affectionate. We take on the challenge of making a difference in the lives of these little ones and their families, offering a dignified and secure start.

Scope of the Project:

- Donations: Each contribution directly translates into the creation of newborn kits with an average cost of $75.

- Distribution in Care Centers: We deliver the kits to hospitals, health centers, and foundations working with vulnerable babies.

Kit Contents:

• 1 high-density corrugated cardboard bassinet, printed with non-toxic natural ink and lined with a moisture-resistant sheet. Supports up to 14 kg.
• 1 mattress for the bassinet, covered with waterproof material.
• 6 reusable diapers.
• 1 waterproof diaper cover.
• 2 complete outfits (pants, shirt, and jacket).
• 1 pajama set.
• 6 pairs of socks.
• 1 baby hat.
• 1 thermal blanket.
• 1 baby care manual.

Resources and Budget Goal (Approximate):

• 937500 USD
• Average Kit Cost: $75
• Newborns facing extreme poverty annually: 25000
• Kits delivered goal annually: 12500

Sprint Delivery:

Each delivery group will consist of 30 mothers in vulnerable situations, so we require $2,250 for each group. The event lasts 4 hours, starting with a first stage of talks on baby and mother care, followed by a baby shower to create happy memories, and finally, we deliver the kit.

We ensure a dignified entry into the world.

Immediate Impact:

- Financial Relief: Alleviation for families with limited resources.

- Generation of Hope: Creation of moments of joy amid adversity.

Long-term Impact:

- Right to Life: Prevention of the crib death problem.

- Integral Development: Creating opportunities for healthy growth.

- Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: Investment in early childhood for a successful future.

Promotion of Values:

Contribution to Society:

- Personal Satisfaction: A feeling of making a positive difference in the lives of vulnerable newborns.

Support for Local Employment:

- Artisanal Support: Products crafted by local artisans, promoting production and generating employment.

Every contribution, whether large or small, has been an invaluable link in the chain of solidarity we are weaving together. We are grateful to know that we share this vision with individuals and companies so committed to positive change.

As we celebrate these achievements, we also look to the future with renewed determination.
