Passina donates money to children´s charities

This year, instead of sending out our traditional gift pack, Passina is donating its full monetary value to children´s charities in Ecuador.

Passina feels responsible for the people living and working in fruit producing countries. In particular, we want to help to give children a chance for a better future by donating funds to two very worthy children´s charities in the country.

Fe y Alegria
As a ´movement for popular education and social promotion´ Fe y Alegr´a helps children from socially disadvantaged families. The organization operates several schools and supports educational projects outside formal institutions by voluntary action.

In Ecuador, Fe y Alegria has a 45 year history of helping children in need.

Fasinarm
Fasinarm´s concern is mentally disabled children. Through pedagogic, educational and vocational assistance, Fasinarm helps to lower the barriers for the handicapped and to facilitate their integration into society.

Based in Guayaquil, Ecuador, the organization was founded in 1966 as a psycho-pedagogic centre. Today, about 80 instructors, technicians and administrative officers as well as 35 volunteers look after hundreds of disabled individuals and their families.
