Children from poverty-stricken families require school supplies, uniforms, and shoes in order to attend public school in Costa Rica. This volunteer-run scholarship project started in 2013, and now provides help for up to 30 students in San Ramon. Some of these students are in their eighth year in the program, and with your help we can continue to raise over $14,000 per year to keep these students on track to graduate high school. As of 2019, nine of our students have graduated.
