Our Partners for a Brighter Future
VIDA is as much a resource for globally–minded volunteers as it is a resource and source of support to other ngo’s operating in Central America. Our commitment to the people and communities in Central America includes working collaboratively with all other organizations to help improve the quality of life for those in need. Listed below are some of the organizations with which we are currently partnering. Tropical Adventures FoundationAviarios del Caribe
La Esperanza GranadaBuilding New HopeLa Marina Foundationwww.zoocostarica.completewebpages.com/welcome1.html McKee ProjectPrince of Peace Evangelical ChurchPastor Candido Escobar Paraiso de Cartago, Costa Rica The Prince of Peace Evangelical Church is a small church without much of any financial support. They offer refuge to community members living in a poor marginal barrio in Paraiso de Cartago. The Pastor and his wife live in the small quarters on the church premises with their young daughter. They are seeking assistance/resources to complete a new metal roof. The current roof is very old, leaky, and haphazardly put together out of rusted pieces of tin. Thanks to a wonderful group of volunteers from Wisconsin they have 2 new cement walls for their home as of 2006, prior to that the walls were made out of a cardboard like material. If you would like to volunteer for this project or make a contribution to the Pastor and his wife, please contact VIDA staff. Granada Orphanage, Madre de Albertini
This wonderful orphanage offers a home to many young girls in the Granada area. The social worker Anali and the nuns that take care of the girls are extraordinary woman who are doing great work with very little financial support. VIDA supports the children at this orphanage by providing free services, bringing donations of medicines, dental supplies, basic food commodities and money. Volunteers also have the opportunity to spend time with the girls learning salsa, piñata party, and sharing intercultural activities. If you would like to donate items or money to the girls at the Madre de Albertini Orphanage please indicate that on your donation.
