To our supporters,
Access to quality education remains a significant barrier for many children in Mal Pais and Santa Teresa, where rapid tourism growth has outpaced local school capacity. With many children forced to work at a young age, our project aims to keep children in school by providing safe learning spaces and quality educational materials.
With £11,181 still needed, our goal is to expand support for more students, improve school infrastructure, and enhance bilingual education programs to meet the needs of the growing population.
Your support is transforming education and creating brighter futures for children in Costa Rica. Together, we can break the cycle of poverty through education. Thank you for being a part of this change!

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

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. Education is a key player in tackling poverty and boosting the socio-economic standing of people in society, however, many children don't have access to quality education either due to a lack of funding or the fact that they start work young to try and earn an income for their families.
Report
Donations to this project assisted to directly fund local students and equipment for our early childhood development centre and local community schools. Quality educational resources will mean that children from all areas and income brackets will have access to quality education and hopefully be excited to continue learning and stay in school. A donation of $50 provides food for one child per month on the school feeding program.
Thank you for your support.
