Mission: The mission of the Akropolis Foundation is to promote social development through community entrepreneurship. The foundation does this by providing educational and financial resources to help people in need start and grow their own businesses. By empowering people to become entrepreneurs, Akropolis Foundation is helping to create a more just and equitable society.
We have always had a vocation of service, we have been constituted as an NGO for 2 years and we maintain an agreement with the Ecuadorian State through the MIES with which we finance 4 child development centers where we take care of children from 0 to 3 years so that their parents have the opportunity to work leaving their children in a safe place where we give them the best care, we feed them and they take their first steps in the cognitive and motor area. After analyzing the deficiency we have in lowering the rate of malnutrition, obesity and anemia in our children, we came to the conclusion that the problem lies in a lack of knowledge about food from parents at home and the lack of financial resources in several homes where, although they are not working, they prefer to leave their children with us because they do not have the resources to feed them. For this reason, we have developed a comprehensive plan to support the 144 families we serve, which consists of in-depth medical studies for children, cooking workshops for parents where, at the end of the workshops, we will choose the 20 best cooks to create a dark kitchen that serves 24/7 in the city of Guayaquil and thus generate the necessary jobs to provide a better quality of life for all participating families.
