Abstract
In Tumbaco, Ecuador, there is a small organization funded partly by UNICEF that
works to improve the lifestyles of rural communities. The name of this organization is
Asociaci6n Vi vir, and its founder is Doctor Mariana Galarza de Garz6n. By educating
members of the community in matters of nutrition, general health and home remedies,
members of Asociacion Vivir work to promote change at the basic community level.
Doctor Mariana and UNICEF have created a liaison with the goal of improving health
conditions for rural Ecuadorian peoples. The intent of this study is to provide the reader
with concrete examples of an effective approach to improving health conditions for rural
peoples.
