Sponsor 40+ Low Income youth-Costa Rica to college

Costa Rica Education

In a high risk community in SJ, CR (violence, drugs, poverty) where in 2007 there were no college students, we have been able to help 24 students to get into college and find jobs. College graduates in Costa Rica have an 80% more chance to get a job than the ones that do not have a college education and that leads them out of poverty. This program pays for youth's college education and makes sure they have weekly mentoring from professionals and friends so that they can make it out of poverty.
