CAMERON VIVANCO
Founder and Ecuador Director
Cameron Graham Vivanco is the Co-Founder of Education Equals Hope (e=h). Originally from North Carolina, she has been in full time lay ministry since 2002. Her main focuses are on the voids that come with poverty, especially in the areas of education and leadership development. In 2003 e=h started in Quito, Ecuador, and has grown from helping one 15-year-old girl finish third grade to serving over 3,000 students in seven countries. Cameron also runs Hope on the Ground, a short-term team’s program which supports e=h students, their families and communities in Ecuador. Cameron, her husband Roberto, and three children serve in Quito, Ecuador as SAMS missionaries.
Cameron started ministry in 1995 as the youth coordinator at the Episcopal Church of the Advent, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and has been full time in Ecuador since 2002. On the mission field, she has served by training and equipping youth ministers, coordinating international ministries, transplanting renewal ministries, running short-term teams, and discipling young leaders. She is a graduate of The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and holds a certificate in youth ministry from the Institute for Professional Youth Ministry. Cameron’s passion for her work comes from a desire to live out her faith so that students know that Jesus makes life better and makes us better at life.
