Costa Rica rural community support fund

Your friendship and your support of our organization have been instrumental to the success of our projects.

Thanks to you, we have provided health services, monthly food to 50 senior citizens in extremely poor conditions and even taking them to the clinic.   

Thanks to you, we have provided training, equipment, seeds, and materials to 53 families who are now implementing regenerative agriculture and abstaining from using agrochemicals and protecting the soil. Together they are protecting 210 acres of land.

Thanks to you, we have provided environmental education to over 4500 students since 2003. We have maintained our youth groups for 18 years, which have brought up exemplary community leaders who are now changing their communities for the better. 

Take a look at our video to hear their testimonies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ZbEsujKhY&t=169s

Thanks to you, we have helped 4 communities start their sea turtle projects, and while under our control, we have protected over 9649 nests, we have released 90238 to the sea, and around 641,040.00 potentially hatched unharmed thanks to our efforts. Take a look at our video of what our sea turtle project does:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_xlKEsnBEI&t=2s.

Your support and your friendship have blessed us, and I want to take a minute to thank you for all you do for us. 

We have big plans for this year! We will be planting 1000 trees by the end of 2021 and 5000 more by 2023. We will double to amount of families that participate in our regenerative agriculture program, and we will continue bringing food and environmental education to our communities. With your support, we are unstoppable. Thank you so much!

Albert Schweitzer said “At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” –

You have been by our side supporting us with your financial contributions and your kind words since the beginning of the pandemic! And thanks to you we have been able to bring food to 50 families/individuals in 11 occasions, we have been able to help 25 families produce their own organic food, promoting food independence, we protected and liberated over 76,000 sea turtle hatchlings and so much more. All thanks to you!

This Little By Little Campaign we raised $3745 USD for the COVID relief for the Elderly and $670 for environmental education and people are still donating.

The work of a nonprofit, especially a small one like ours is hard, we often find so much need in our communities and in our ecosystems. Our team, who many joined us as volunteers care passionately for our causes and the people we serve. I often get a plead here or there from one of them saying, this old man needs to be taken to the clinic, and he has nobody to do it for him; this family is hungry, the sea turtle population on this beach is being depleted by poachers and so much more.

With the pandemic, we have faced hard choices and hard times, harder times than ever, more pressure, more people in need, more pressure on wildlife than ever before and then it was the fact that they stole our only vehicle after we had put $7000 USD in repairs. Yet never have we experience such demonstrations of support and appreciation.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Because in this time of the pandemic, when there has been so much uncertainty and despair, you have been there for us shining bright.  May you and your loved ones receive your kindness tenfold.

What we need in these times is more people like you bringing light to those in need, in need of a smile, a hand, a kind gesture.
