After almost three and a half years since their beginning, they have worked mostly with girls aged 6-12 years in three vulnerable communities in Desamparados, San Jose, Costa Rica. Their program is on-going and the great majority of girls have stayed in the program throughout the years. Soy Nina's main program is "Club Nina" (Girls Club), a free-of-charge after-school program with affinity to the public education system's calendar, based on life-skills development, human rights, early comprehensive sexual education, all with age-appropriate information and activities.
