THE SITUATION IN BRIEF

On April 16, 2016 a powerful earthquake in Ecuador left more than 663 people dead. There was heavy damage to hospitals, schools and homes, forcing 5,400 families into temporary shelters. A total of 350,000 people, including 250,000 children and adolescents, were in need of urgent relief.

 

Through the support of our donors, we helped vulnerable children and families by providing food, clean water, emergency shelter and access to sanitation facilities. We also provided immediate care to children who have been separated from their families and sought to reunite them with their families. SOS Children’s Villages has been supporting vulnerable children in Ecuador since 1963.
