AMIGOS OF COSTA RICA AFFILIATE ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALREADY HARD AT WORK HELPING THOSE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY COVID-19.

For Costa Rica, the situation escalated quickly with the airport closure on March 18th, 2020 which abruptly put a stop to tourism in the country. Many organizations are mobilizing to meet basic needs, including food and basic toiletries, as many families lost their source of income with the closure of tourism-related businesses. We are currently in the process of updating our page with COVID-19 responses. Please email emily@amigosofcostarica.org if you’d like to learn more while we are working on making this update.
