Here for the community. Here for Manta

Overview
After a powerful earthquake struck, the people of Manta were in desperate need. As members of a church we saw this need and this project has developed as a way to help those who were most effected. We started by providing water and food to the families that had lost everything, loved ones, their homes, and their jobs. Soon we began to realize that the people needed more than just food and we began working to help rebuild homes. The project continued to evolve into more long-term relief by helping to start small local businesses. This project has taken many forms over the last 2 years since the earthquake struck, but through it all we have focused on what our community needs most and learned how to serve as the hands and feet of Christ. We are now partnering with Covenant World Relief and The Rotary Club to help start over 40 small local businesses to bring long term growth and healing to our community.
