How is God calling you to
WE BELIEVE
- The circle of poverty can be broken and that begins with a relationship with Jesus Christ.
- All can share their gifts and talents and have the potential to serve others.
- In ministry done with excellence through financial stewardship, following ethical guidelines, and investing in lasting partnerships.
WHAT WE DO
All of our programs work with children and families in real need. We believe we can make a difference in the lives of children, parents, or family, ultimately breaking the circle of poverty in our community.
Our Programs
Hunger relief
On the
second Sunday of each month in our ministry, we cook and then distribute the
food to the people in need in streets. Per month we serve over 100 hot meals,
we also give spiritual nourishment by sharing the gospel.
Education
Goal: To improve children’s chances of
success in life. Last year (2022) we distributed more than 300 school kits and
backpacks, plus grocery bags. We also do about 8 VBS youth camps and sports for
the children each year in the summer.
Health program
In the last
year (2022) our beneficiaries had about 2000 medical appointments. In addition,
we have an annual health fair that screens patients for basic intervention
needs. At these events we also distribute vitamins for the children to help
against malnutrition.
Entrepreneurship
The
micro-entrepreneurship program is designed to support our beneficiaries with
their business ideas. If selected, they receive seed capital of up to $100 in
materials.
Shelter
Projects
include basic garbage removal and the construction of bathrooms, kitchens, and
even small apartments.
Emergency relief
300 food
kits sent to help the victims of the floods in 2008. 7,500 families helped
after the 2016 earthquake with emergency kits and shelters. 600 Venezuelan
immigrant families helped in 2018. 2500 immigrants helped in 2019. In the La
Gasca flood in 2022, a total of 68 people, made up of 18 families, received
help with food, hygiene kits, medical care, clothing, various items, among
others.
WHO WE SERVE
Pan de Vida seeks to reach out to the families that fall under the line of poverty. These families are located on the peripheral areas of Quito. We believe we can make a difference in the lives of children, parents or families, ultimately breaking the circle of poverty in our community.
EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF LIVING, LOVING, AND GIVING!

Pan de Vida accepts interns to work with us for a period of 1 month up to 1 year. All persons interested in interning with us must fill out an application and be accepted by the board of Pan de Vida.
What do our Internships look like?
Interns are directly involved in helping develop our front-line projects which include but are not limited to the micro-business program, teen ministry, feeding program, summer camps, and HIT squads as well as communication, planning activities, recruiting volunteers, and logistics. You can expect at least half of your time to be spent on the front line projects working directly with our beneficiaries and half of it spent on the administrative side. We generally work with each applicant to try to tailor your experience considering both your gifts and talents as well as our ministry needs.
Fees and Requirements:
The cost of the internship depends on the length of the internship. You will be asked to raise your own support to cover your airfare, travel insurance, room and board, personal expenses, language classes, and personal travel.
Upon acceptance into the internship, we will create an account for you to be able to raise funds tax deductible through our 501c3. Any funds raised are non refundable. Pan de Vida will find you a host home for your stay and be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off from the airport on the day of your arrival and departure.
We will also provide an orientation and mentoring throughout your internship.
