Ecuador Fundación Esquel-Ecuador Fundación Esquel - Ecuador (FE-E) was established in 1990 as a national, nonprofit, nongovernmental foundation dedicated to the economic, social, and cultural development of the most disadvantaged segments of Ecuadorian society. In 1991, Esquel joined in partnership with the International Youth Foundation to strengthen its children and youth activities. FE-E’s mission is to work as an agent of social change in Ecuador by supporting initiatives with the most disadvantaged segments of Ecuadorian society, principally children and youth, women, and indigenous populations, to solve their own problems, modify current conditions that restrict their development, and help them overcome social injustice. FE-E's principal areas of interest include employment and enterprise development, youth leadership, and health and community development.
