Thank you for your interest in giveDIGNITY! If you'd like to invest financially in restoring the dignity of those living in marginalized communities, there are many ways to do so. Please consider investing in the future of one of our sponsored students, or supporting the overall outreach efforts of giveDIGNITY.
Economic Recovery Project
In 2021, we're launching a new effort to help community members regain employment and improve financial stability. This program will have three key components:
Student Sponsorships
giveDIGNITY provides uniforms, shoes, school supplies, bus passes and tutoring to sponsored students. More than 88% of children in the sponsorship program pass the school year and advance to the next grade level, an astounding success rate in the community.

Sustainability & Social Business
This year we hope to launch a social business to create jobs and enhance sustainability of the ministry by providing local financial support. A laundromat would address chronic water shortages in the community and provide access to laundry machines that would improve quality of life in the community.
Ministry Support
Systemic injustice perpetuates poverty in marginalized communities. The poor do not need handouts of shoes, clothes, food, or houses. They need tools, such as a safe environment, an education, a job, and the dignity of providing what they need for themselves. Join us as 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.
