Adopta una Familia, Inc. is a small United States-based nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status, operating from Hartford, Connecticut. It partners with community leaders in Guayaquil, Ecuador to advance development in three priority areas: housing, education, and health. The organization traces its roots to a grassroots project started in 1999 in the Guasmo Sur neighborhood, where the initial effort focused on constructing bathrooms for families. Since then, it has evolved into a multi-tier program that aligns local needs with available resources to improve outcomes in those communities. Beyond Ecuador, AUF's work has engaged participants across North America, fostering a sense of service among volunteers and supporters. The program's growth reflects its aim to use local and global resources efficiently to expand opportunities for quality housing, education, and health for those it serves.
