Help Us Fund our Eco School in Costa Rica
About
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. 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.
Need
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. There is a major need for quality schooling that children in all areas can access which is why the need for this project is so great. We aim to equip schools with quality learning materials to boost their impact and reach more children.
Long term impact
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.
