On their journey towards a more peaceful life, many refugees cross through Costa Rica. We provide a first-aid shelter for children and their families, who need medical care, sanitation, and protection.
Our mission is to provide medical care, showers, food, and education services for people with extreme social vulnerability. We populate an art school to offer educational classes, music, art, and occupational therapy in hopes of fostering social reintegration.
