Since 2018 we have worked in the most vulnerable communities of Costa Rica's Greater Metropolitan Area. These numbers represent real lives, strengthened families, and a more just future.
Since 2018, more than 600 girls, adolescents, and their families have participated in our programs across 5 communities in the Greater Metropolitan Area.
Currently more than 200 girls and adolescents actively participate in our 4 weekly programs: Club Niña, Club Cole, Club Familias, and Tutoring.
Our network of more than 200 professional volunteers has contributed 28,000 hours of support in social work, psychology, education, and mentoring.
95% of program participants stay in the education system, compared to significantly lower national averages in at-risk areas.
Girls develop self-confidence, learn to use their voice, and become agents of change in their communities.
Education in rights, healthy boundaries, and support networks that protect girls and adolescents from risky situations.
Personalized tutoring and mentoring that transform girls' relationship with education and open opportunities.
