The community of Chillanes has graduated

In 2022, the community transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Because of the dedication and partnership of sponsors like you, local people and organizations have been equipped to continue leading the community’s development – and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Chillanes has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context
The community of Chillanes is located in central Ecuador. It is comprised of about 100 small settlements in a river valley in the western foothills of the Andes Mountains. Families living low in the valley near the Chimbo River enjoy a sub-tropical climate, while those on the mountain slopes live in cooler, misty mountain air. About 1,000 families live in Chillanes, and 86% of people live in poverty. Most people in this part of Ecuador struggle to survive as farmers, and grow peas, corn, or beans on small plots of land. About one-quarter of the population are indigenous, while the majority are of Mestizo or mixed ancestry....
