Ecuador

Just a few hours west of Quito, our partners in San Miguel de Los Bancos engage the three pillars of sustainability in a rural setting.

San Miguel de Los Bancos

Since 2019, AllPeopleBeHappy and Ecuador partners, Nido de Vida, have collaborated on exploring how the ideas of sustainability play out in real ways in a region in which the economy is primarily driven by small-scale subsistence farming.

Key Themes

  • Community Development
  • Subsistence Farming
  • Culture and Heritage
  • Nature and the Outdoors
