Introduction
Our goal with this project is to empower children to stay in school by providing a safe space and quality learning materials to boost their education and increase opportunities later in life.Mal Pais and Santa Teresa are some of the fastest-growing areas for tourism in Costa Rica. This creates a massive need for bilingual and sustainable education. The towns are growing fast and the population is swelling beyond the capacity of local schools.
Report
This is a long term project with high impact as we will improve the economic and social situation of the local community through increased levels of education and access to the tourist trade. We have the longer-term aim of the community assisting the program without the need for outside donations as this promotes sustainability whilst empowering the locals to take control of their children's education.
Thank you for your support
