Women-Led Social Enterprise

D’ELLAS is a women-led cooperative that empowers women in vulnerable situations through job training, dignified employment, and leadership development. Many participants are single mothers from Proyecto AMA.

Mujeres Creadoras

Grandmothers Baking & Making a Better Future

Mujeres Creadoras is a women-led microenterprise that empowers grandmothers raising families in deep poverty. Through baking and handmade embroidery, they gain income, confidence, and dignity.

With training, supplies, and a growing local market, these resilient women sell high-quality bread and crafted goods through community sales and private orders—breaking cycles of hardship one creation at a time.

Secondhand Store + Community Sales

Sustainable Thrift & Redistribution Model

A sustainable thrift initiative that turns donations into dignity. This program creates short-term employment for women in Proyecto AMA while redistributing gently used goods to families in need.

Monthly garage sales and our secondhand store generate vital funds to support Hearts of Gold’s core programs—building community resilience, one item at a time.

All Children Deserve to Dream

Hope, Play, and Potential for Children

In Ecuador, dreaming is a privilege many children can't afford. Chronic poverty, malnutrition, and lack of access to education or healthcare hold them back.

This program offers joy, stability, and opportunity for children in AMA families and partner organizations with:

Recreational outings & creative activities
Personal develpment & enrichment workshops
Emotional development and social support
School supply drives and academic tutoring
Safe spaces to simply be kids

By nurturing childhood joy and resilience, we help kids grow into confident, hopeful leaders for the future.

Emergency Response & Crisis Support

Rapid Relief for Families and Communities in Crisis

When emergencies strike—whether personal or large-scale— Hearts of Gold responds with speed and compassion. Through Proyecto AMA, we maintain a flexible fund that supports vulnerable families with urgent needs like medical care, protection & housing assistance, and vital supplies.

This same fund also powers our community-wide response to natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, and health crises like COVID-19.

Your support ensures we’re ready to act—immediately and effectively—when it matters most.

Community Networking, Partnerships & Solidarity

At Hearts of Gold (Corazones de Oro), we believe in the power of connection. Behind the scenes, we link grassroots organizations and local leaders with international donors, volunteers, and allies—amplifying the impact of community-driven work.

While we no longer offer direct capacity-building, we continue to share:

Resources and referrals
Learning opportunities and workshops
Joint projects and collaborative events

We don’t aim to lead—we aim to walk alongside. Our role is to support, connect, and elevate the powerful work already being done by local changemakers.

We help strengthen and spotlight initiatives in areas such as:

Nutrition, health and education access
Environmental stewardship
Crisis response and community resilience

By facilitating access to tools, volunteers, training, and funding, we serve as a bridge between local efforts and global solidarity.

MAS VERDE

Protecting Forests, Preserving Biodiversity

Ecuador’s forests are among the most biodiverse on Earth—but they face growing threats from wildfires, agricultural expansion, and habitat loss.

MAS VERDE works to prevent deforestation through forest protection, wildfire awareness, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable land practices.
