Recognition of the Jonathan Foundation on Quito's 491st Anniversary

A tribute to the Jonathan Foundation

During the solemn session commemorating the 491st anniversary of the founding of Quito, the National Assembly of Ecuador presented a significant award to the Jonathan Foundation, bestowing upon it the Dr. Matilde Hidalgo de Prócel Medal for Social Merit. This tribute highlights the foundation's tireless work on behalf of the most vulnerable sectors of our society.

Commitment to service and inclusion

The Jonathan Foundation, founded by Catalina Avilés, arose from profound grief following the tragic loss of her son, Jonathan. From this heartbreaking experience, Catalina committed herself to fighting for the well-being of those who, like her, face adversity. The award is not only an honor but also a reaffirmation of the foundation's commitment to service and social inclusion.

Impact on the community

The services offered by the Jonathan Foundation have benefited thousands of people, providing free social assistance in health and nutrition. The unwavering dedication of its founder and the foundation's team has enabled many Ecuadorians to access vital resources that improve their quality of life. In this regard, the recognition from the National Assembly is a testament to the positive impact that social initiatives can have on the community.

We thank the National Assembly of Ecuador for this recognition, which commits us to continue fighting for the most vulnerable children and senior citizens in Quito and its surrounding areas.
