Fundación Rescate was started in 2012 in Sucua, Ecuador, located in the Ecuadorian Amazon, to address a dire need to provide a safe place for local children currently in unhealthy and unsafe environments. Local officials say that 2-3 children a day, need to be taken out of their home due to abuse, neglect, parenting and/or marital issues, and currently have very few options of support.
Our goal is to meet them in their time of darkness and show them God’s great love by providing a temporary safe home, Casa Rescate, for children ages 6-12 to serve not only their immediate physical, emotional and spiritual needs, but also those of their families. The reality is that these children will return to their families after a short period of time, therefore it is necessary to provide emotional and spiritual support, to not only these children, but also their families.
