THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING COSTA RICA DURING THE COVID‑19 PANDEMIC.

With your help, we have raised over $1.2 million to help communities combat the impacts of COVID-19.  Your contributions have fed thousands of families, increased access to COVID-19 testing, and supported other important non-profit work that lost funding.
‍
Yet in the third quarter, the unemployment rate hit 24% in Costa Rica, a historic high. The tourism industry has been devastated by pandemic, creating incredible impacts in communities where tourism is a dominant industry. Costa Rican families, children, wildlife, and communities still need your help. Join us in continuing to support Costa Rica during this crisis.
