FASPEM  is a non’-profit, non-governmental organization based in Manta, Ecuador, which was constituted in November of 2000 by a group of local and foreign educators, social entrepreneurs and social workers to work for the educational and social development of the Manabí province in.

We implement social and educational projects to benefit children, youth and families in Manabi´s marginalized communities. Our work is carried out according to efficiency and excellence parameters, maintaining high quality standards in all our initiatives.

In less than 7 years we have benefited more than 1800 families through our contribution to community-based development of children, education and preventative health. This success leads us to trace for ourselves more ambitious objectives every year for the improvement of families in Manabi and Ecuador. This also allows us to create opportunities and support the province’s potential in order to make its population an active agent of its own development through participatory processes and local leadership.
