Building a brighter future
Let’s take action into protecting childhood
In childhood we learn to connect with others, express ourselves and understand the world around us. During those early years, we begin to shape our identities and accumulate the experiences that will stay with us forever — in our families, in school, and in our communities.
Through our programs, our work in the Careyes Foundation has impacted the Costalegre community, and its children, by bringing quality education and opportunities to the region. Many children face challenges that limit their access to quality education, health, safety and emotional support, and it is our mission to ensure that every child can dream big and live with dignity.
We recognize that the quality of a child’s present shapes the strength of their future. That’s why, for over a decade, we’ve been committed to nurturing the potential of more than 1,000 children across 12 communities in the Costalegre region. Through our four core pillars — education, environmental awareness, artistic exploration, and community development — we offer consistent, long-term programs that give children tools for a more empowered life.
But today, Children’s Day, is more than a celebration of childhood — it’s a moment to reflect.
Think about your own childhood. Who encouraged your curiosity? Who opened doors for you? Who made you feel safe to dream? Now imagine what it would mean to pass those same opportunities on to a child growing up in Careyes — to be that someone.
Because when we invest in children, we aren’t just giving — we’re planting seeds. Seeds of creativity, compassion, critical thinking, and resilience.
On this Children’s Day, let’s not just celebrate childhood — let’s protect it, empower it, and honor it with action.
