Savor tradition and help change lives! Jonathan Foundation presents Fanesca charity sale

  • Quito, March 7, 2025 – The Jonathan Foundation is pleased to announce its "Fanesca with Heart" charity campaign, a delicious initiative that seeks to unite the community around the culinary tradition of fanesca and, at the same time, raise vital funds to support those most in need.
