🎒 Dreams in every backpack - Costa Rica IndĂgena
In Costa Rica’s indigenous communities, education is a journey of strength and perseverance.
Every day, children walk for hours along mountain trails and across rivers to reach their schools. They do it with courage and determination, carrying the dream of a brighter future. What they need are the right tools—backpacks, notebooks, and pencils—to match their commitment. The School Supplies Campaign exists to make sure every child starts the school year with dignity, confidence, and hope.
🌱 Why We Do This
Education is more than classrooms and lessons, it’s about opportunity, equity, and pride. But for many families, school supplies are an impossible expense. Without them, children risk feeling left behind. We believe no child should be held back because of where they live or the challenges they face. Their determination deserves to be met with our solidarity.
đź“Š Our Impact
Over the past four years, thanks to generous donors and dedicated volunteers, we’ve delivered:
âś… Nearly 1,000 complete school kits to children in indigenous territories.
âś… Hands-on support from volunteers who walk the same paths to deliver supplies.
âś… Moments of pride as children open their very first backpack filled with learning tools.
Each school kit is more than supplies, it’s a symbol of opportunity, equity, and belonging.
đź’™ Why This Matters
When a child receives a school kit, it transforms their school experience:
- They walk into class with confidence.
- Their long daily journey feels worthwhile.
- They feel a stronger sense of belonging and equality.
- Families and communities see renewed hope for the future.
Your support turns determination into success, and effort into achievement.
