Development of Origin Resources

ECOM Foundation for Development of Origin Resources founded in 2006, is a 501c(3) public charity committed to ensuring a better life for origin producers. Our Project directives focus on better education, health care, social services and environmental practices to achieve long term sustainability for rural growers and their families in producing communities.
