Support Projects Galapagos

Your donations keep our community centre, eco-reserve, and education programs running for San Cristobal’s children, teenagers, and conservation work.

Donate: a little can go a long way

Our Community Centre in town is used for English teaching, extra-curricular activities, and running our projects. This is where we established San Cristobal’s first library to inspire a reading culture with access to materials in both Spanish and English.

We also maintain our own Eco-Reserve in the Highlands near El Progreso village, producing endemic plants for the town and surrounding areas. Supplies and tools for many of our conservation, education, and community activities are provided by Projects Galapagos.

Providing assistance to help us reach our conservation and education goals is a great way to have an impact. If you are interested in making a donation, please get in contact with our team to discuss how you can help preserve the Galapagos.
