In the community of Montezuma, Costa Rica, many families do not have access to adequate educational spaces for their young children.
For this reason, our humanitarian organization has launched the Montessori Educational Space Project, a simple yet carefully designed environment where children can grow safely, develop independence, and learn through experience.
The project has already been initiated and you can learn more about it here:

To complete the structure and make it fully functional for the children, we need to acquire essential equipment and materials.
The total amount required is ₡1,885,000 Costa Rican colones, approximately 3,600 USD.
What we aim to create
Our goal is to build a safe, simple and dignified educational space where children can:
- learn through the Montessori method
- develop independence and creativity
- grow in a protected and stimulating environment
- access appropriate educational tools
The project includes both indoor educational equipment and outdoor spaces for play and learning.
