welcome...

The Educating Children Foundation is a charity based in San Jose, Costa Rica, Central America.

 

The Foundation was founded on the basis that the greatest gift that you can give to a child that is living in poverty is an excellent education because it is something they keep and use forever and it will enable them to have a chance of success in their life.

 

We are currently operating a school in Alajuelita, one of the poorest areas of San Jose to provide an education for the local children.

 

We need your help with this project so if you feel that you can help in any way please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

We need help first hand from volunteers, both at the school itself and also by teaching via Skype, but if you don't feel that you can help in this way why not sponsor one of the children or make a donation.

 

If you think that you might be able to help us in any way please contact us.
