Since 1994, OVCI has been working in Ecuador, in the province of Esmeraldas, to promote the social inclusion of people with disabilities.
Currently our commitment is on two slopes:
1- CBID commitment, through the promotion of an Community-Based Inclusive Development program - reaching all 7 cantons of the province with a home visit system.
2- Orthopedic Workshop commitment, creating tailor-made aids and orthoses, accessible even to the poorest population.
Strong is the collaboration with the local Association "La Nuestra Familia", born from the choice of the Italian Association "La Nostra Famiglia" and on the stimulus of the Apostolic Vicariate and with local institutions to ensure the sustainability of the already implemented actions on behalf of people with disabilities.
