FundaVida empowers Costa Rican at-risk youth in deeply troubled communities to break free of the destructive cycle of poverty. Through education, counseling, technology and community we inspire children to achieve their full potential. Education is the path to a promising future devoid of violence, drugs, gangs, teenage pregnancy and prostitution.
We work in three at-risk communities near San José, Costa Rica: Concepción de Alajuelita, 25 de Julio and Linda Vista de Patarrá. In 1996, through the efforts of FundaVida’s founder Chris Dearnley, FundaVida began to reach out to young people in Concepción de Alajuelita. In the year 2000 FundaVida started in the neighborhood of 25 de Julio and in 2005 in the community of Linda Vista.
