This article analyzes the complex relationship between community resilience and the right to education in Santa Teresita, a rural indigenous community in Guamote, Ecuador. Through a qualitative approach and the Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, the material and cultural barriers that hinder the full exercise of this fundamental right are explored. The findings reveal a precarious school infrastructure, high dropout rates, especially among girls, and a curriculum disconnected from the Kichwa cultural identity. However, the community's remarkable capacity to organize and generate, from its own knowledge and practices, strategies of resistance and transformation is highlighted. It is concluded that strengthening community resilience, through participation and the valuation of its own culture, is an indispensable pillar for building an intercultural, relevant, and quality education that guarantees a more equitable future for the community's children and youth.

Palabras clave : Community resilience; Right to education; Intercultural education; Community participation Cultural identity; Participatory action research.
