About Hearts of Gold

Hearts of Gold is an Ecuadorian nonprofit founded in 2013 by expats, as a connection between the expat and local community to work together to create a lasting change in vulnerable populations .

With 10 years of service in our community, Hearts of Gold has developed a unique and effective way to serve the community. By emphasising local resources and capabilities, Hearts of Gold applies a holistic approach through our Programs to help shift power to the people, helping them reach their potential.

Over the years Hearts of Gold has also been apart of a diverse set of community initiatives. From helping to open the first food bank in partnership with the Province of Azuay, to language exchange classes with the City of Cuenca, and crisis relief after the 2017 earthquake and 2020 Covid pandemic, Hearts of Gold has served as a bridge between national and international organizations and businesses.
