# Dear Ecuador,

Yellow, blue and red, with the condor and Chimborazo on your arms. Ninety-five in
every hundred of you cook with clean fuel, and nearly three-quarters of your electricity
comes from renewable sources.

Think of what you have already built. Your IMF programme of about $5 billion had
disbursed $3.7 billion by April 2026. In 2026 the World Bank approved $750 million
for reforms that promote investment and jobs, and $800 million to finance infrastructure
for local governments through your development bank.

At home the record is just as real. Ninety-five in every hundred of you cook with
clean fuel. Essential health care scores 78 out of 100 on the World Health Organization
index. Seventy in every hundred of you live above $8.30 a day.

The work ahead is plain, and it is worth saying plainly. At the last count, in 2019,
sixty-six in every hundred of your children reached the end of primary school unable
to read a simple text. Only forty-nine in every hundred of you have a safely managed
toilet at home. Thirty-one in every hundred of you cannot always count on enough
good food. Reading sets your Coverage today, at 34.1 out of 100, with shelter and
food close behind. Each of them is within your reach.

Now imagine that same resolve turned toward every home in the country. Picture Perfect
Ecuador: a morning when every family cooks with clean fuel and sits down to a full
table; when every tap runs clean and every home has a safe toilet; when every child
walks to a school where a teacher is waiting, and reads with ease by the age of 
ten; when every mother lives within reach of a clinic with the lights on, and every
young person finds work that pays. And no Ecuadorian falls below a decent life, 
because the nation has decided that none will.

None of this needs a miracle. It needs what you already own: the Amazon, the Andes,
the Galapagos, your rivers that already power the nation, and your farms that feed
the world bananas and shrimp. They are assets no balance sheet counts, and together
they can carry every Ecuadorian to food, water, shelter, energy, education, health
and a livelihood.

> “Your rivers already power the nation. Now let them power every Ecuadorian child
> to a confident reader.”

So this is an invitation. Bring your vision, your story and your solutions to the
Perfect Ecuador ReDesign Studio, and join the Co-designers who are already imagining
what comes next. Perfect Ecuador will not be designed for you. It will be designed
by you.

Yours in design,
