Welcome to the Educating Children Foundation...
We are a foundation based in Costa Rica, Central America and we were founded on the basis that the greatest gift that you can give to a child that is living in poverty is an education because it is something they keep and use forever.
Our Vision...
To enable children who live in areas of poverty to obtain a quality education. This education will also include teaching them culture which will include appreciation of art and music. Sports will also be included.
This will enable the children to get away from their poverty and obtain success in their life
Our Mission...
To act as a medium to supply the education needed.
Our Objective...
For the foundation to be able to give education to these children, it’s first project has been to construct a school near the centre of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. The school is constructed on 3 acres of land and consists of the following
- Classrooms for Teaching
- Computer Laboratory
- Dining Area
- Study Room
- Teacher's Area
- Recreation & Sports Area
- Space to construct more classrooms and a multi-purpose building that can be used for assembly, theatre and gymnasium
The school is called the Lady Gladys in honour of the founder's Mother, Gladys, who although very poor sacrificed so much to give him an education.

Teaching by Skype is a great way to help us and the children as well as being very rewarding for you.
Just a couple of hours a week from home would really help a child here.
Please contact us if you would like to join our Teach by Skype Program.
