Systemic injustice perpetuates poverty and violence in marginalized communities. We believe it does not have to be that way, if the church works to promote justice and opportunities for the poor. ​

MAKE YOUR IMPACT

The poor do not need handouts of shoes, clothes, food, or houses.
They need TOOLS:
a safe environment, an education, a job,
​and the dignity of providing what they need for themselves.

We serve the poor of La Carpio, Costa Rica in strategic ways that empower them to break the cycle of poverty through long-term development instead of short-term aid. Our programs serve individuals from birth to adulthood, ensuring that they have tools for the most pressing developmental objectives of each life stage.

Three Core Initiatives 

Violence Prevention

Preventing child abuse by teaching young mothers about early childhood development and offering early childhood stimulation for children under age 3.

Education

Increasing access to education through sponsorships, and helping children and adults overcome academic obstacles.

MORE

Work​

Helping adults identify their strengths, make and execute a vocational plan, develop personally and vocationally, and expand their job opportunities.

MORE

When people are educated, have work that is not exploitative, and live in healthy families free from violence, they have the necessary ingredients to escape from poverty without continual aid from outsiders.
