How we are supported: Prayer is “Number One”.  Prayer encourages, guides and protects the children and staff in a developing country where violence is increasing, family morals are on the decline, and poverty is growing. We are financially supported by donations from individuals, families, social organizations and a variety of churches.  We are pleased that 95% of each dollar received by FHC is used to support the operations of the ministries in Ecuador.  FHC is a California non-profit religious corporation, with IRS tax-exempt status.  A financial statement is available on request. The majority of our financial support is from the U.S.  FHC does not receive economic support from the Ecuadorian government.  FHC does utilize government resources such as community-based health care and legal support services.
