Your donation

In order to make Sustainable Transformational Development a reality, support from every one is necessary. It is necessary to involve the State, the civil society, the private sector and all social skateholders that can and must make and effort for Costa Rica to become a better place to live -for the present generation and the future ones-. World Vision is a vehicle to make this objective a reality in more than 164 communities, as it accompanies their work day by day, seeking better opportunities for children and their families.

During this year it became possible to invest 37% of the total budget in child development. This involves children's organizations, promotion of justice through the rights of children, education, culture, human formation and, of course, recreation.

The second most important item where World Vision invested its resources was agricultural strategy and economic and social development. The following major areas were strengthened: grassroots organizations, technical assistance to production prcesses, the environment, and generation of job resources.
