about fge

FGE is a non-Governmental Organization (NGO) which aids in the development of people with special needs. The Ministry of Social Welfare approved it as a non-profit organization in 1980 (agreement No. 4333). It is inscribed in the National Council of Disabilities (No. 39). The institutional policy of FGE is congruent to the national policy of the Ecuadorian State about development and social involvement of people with special needs.

During its 27 years, FGE has became one of the most important national non-governmental organizations in the disability field. Some areas we excel in are: prevention of disabilities, providing information about disabilities and training/integration of persons with disabilities. Our projects and programs are described below.
