The Banana Plan

Every year, the Crusade For a New Humanity Foundation brings fruits and medicine to those in need.

The Banana Plan seeks to tackle one of the biggest problems children in Ecuador face, which is malnutrition. Banana is the main fruit that is brought to the villages and towns of the people in need, but they also receive pineapples, oat, and several other fruits in order to encourage the consuming of healthy food.

Not only does the Foundation bring these fruits to villages and towns, but also to Public Dining Rooms, Schools and Hospitals. The Banana Plan is an effort that is usually done simultaneously with the Health Plan.

How Does Alvaro Noboa Help?

The social help that Atty. Alvaro Noboa gives day after day to Ecuador is reflected on the different areas where he contributes. Each day, at the Customs of Guayaquil, the main ecuadorian port, tons of shipments arrive with many different purposes: trade, commerce, medicines and general commodities. Once a year, however, a container arrives with hope for those who are in need. The sender is Guayas-Ecuador Hilfe e.v, a German organization that, for several years, has counted with the financial aid of Atty. Alvaro Noboa for the transportation of those containers that provide help to different organizations around the country.

Crusade for a New Humanity Foundation works with the philanthropic aid of Atty. Alvaro Noboa along with the German organization. Dr. Jenny Arteaga, Health Plan and Banana Plan Director for Crusade for a New Humanity Fundation, has been working for more than 10 years along with many other helping hands of volunteers. Noboa helps Guayas-Ecuador Hilfe by warehousing the German containers that will be sent to Guayaquil and also financing the legal paperwork in both of the country’s Customs. The containers financed by Atty. Alvaro Noboa provide with medicines, wheelchairs, computers, first aid stretchers, and prosthetics among other items to foundations and organizations that offer social help in the country. Cariño Foundation, Melvin-Jones Foundation  at canton La Libertad; Madres Doroteas Foundation from Ballenita and The New Humanity Crusade Foundation are some of the organizations in charge of distributing the goods that arrive in the containers.

According to Mrs. Silva, one of the representatives of Health Plan and Banana Plan for Crusade for a New Humanity Foundation, said only this year the Foundation gave 200 computers to the Philanthropic Society of Guayas. This equipment will be used to instruct students on technical careers. In addition, the Foundation delivered over 125 especial beds to the Ecuadorian Red Cross for people in critical condition, as well as hydraulic beds requested to the Foundation.

The Crusade for a New Humanity Foundation also presented wheelchairs and school desks to schools that work with foundations that help poor people. The Health Plan of the Foundation finances many of these activities.

Hard work by entrepreneur Noboa does not end with just health programs, since it also covers nutrition plans for elders and children. Sonya de Silva says this help has been provided since 1999. The Foundation is in charge of the bananas distribution to institutions that need it the most. While Padre Damian Foundation helps lepers, New World Foundation provides education to children from Duran. The nursing homes Hogar San Jose and San Vicente de Paul Fundation receive over 200 boxes of banana brought by organized trucks financed by Atty. Alvaro Noboa and once a year other fruits are also given.

The Health Plan

The “Crusade for a New Humanity Foundation” (Fundación Cruzada Nueva Humanidad) Foundation travels around the country, providing medical service and assistance to marginal areas in rural zones and the outskirts which lack basic services. Besides, the Foundation is always present when our country suffers natural disasters.

A team of professionals doctors assist the public attention. Meanwhile Alvaro Noboa permanently allocates resources that come from his personal fortune and the companies involved in social development programs undertaken by the Foundation.

Mobile clinics of these medical brigades tour the country providing free medical care and medicines to mothers and their children, adults and the elderly who are in need. Alvaro’s Noboa resources have allowed him to donate 600 wheel chairs to the less fortunate, over 300 hundred computers with Internet access were given to public schools for educational purposes.

In 2010, over 10,428 patients have been attended in September, only in the Guayas province alone. All over the country more than 20,000 citizens have received help from Alvaro’s Noboa Foundation. The medical team have traveled the coastal provinces fighting infectious diseases in poor towns. A deworm campaign has been conducted massively in the schools of the Coast, Highlands and the East of Ecuador.

The battle against diseases lead by the medical staff continues, having faced high rates of anemia and malaria in Esmeraldas, Manabi, Los Rios. Their biggest threat was an outbreak of tuberculosis and skin diseases El Oro province.

Alvaro Noboa: A Helping Hand

Behind the biggest employer of Ecuador and the Leader of one of the most important Political Parties of the Country, there is a visionary who has worked for more than 30 years for those in need.

Alvaro Noboa is a philantropist who supports several areas such as free medicine, medical attention for people in need and encourages nutrition.

In 1977, before having many of the big companies he has today, Alvaro Noboa established the Crusade for a New Humanity Foundation (Fundación Cruzada Nueva Humanidad). The Foundation has two main objectives: fighting diseases, ignorance and poverty.

The Crusade for a New Humanity Foundation is based on Christian beliefs, with love as the most important factor of mankind, unity in diversity and self improvement.

For more than 30 years, the Foundation has been present on the recovery from natural disasters, as well as working on their two main programs The Health Plan and The Banana Plan.
