Fundación Vida Digna (Life of Dignity Foundation) is run by Sr. Fanny Bolaños Suarez, a Santa Mariana Sisters from Ecuador in an area on the outskirts Durán called Una Sola Fuerza. Like Arbolito and Mount Sinai, Una Sola Fuerza is an under-resourced community of immigrants. The center has a holistic approach emphasizing a healthy mind, body and spirit, and especially supports women and youth. They offer exercise classes, prayer and meditation, a nutrition program, and a variety of holistic health care to people who would otherwise not be able to afford these services. RdC volunteers have worked at the center supporting the holistic health activities and currently help facilitate Semillitas, an afternoon tutoring and homework help for local children.
