In what was once considered the most poverty stricken section of La Carpio, we have constructed an education and community center. Through the generous support of our donors and many volunteers these facilities have been able to provide quality daycare for children whose parents work, weekly medical seminars, playground, high quality education activities and workshops for women among many other activities.

What used to be a sad, dirty, garbage strewn muddy lane has turned into a peaceful, colorful and hopeful neighborhood. Where our first goal was to have children attend school, our goal now is to have our students get the highest grades in their class.

The Libertad is also located next to the Rio Torres which is one of the extreme poverty areas of Costa Rica. The houses here are still made of tin and cardboard and the floors are mostly dirt. Although we have began working in this area recently, there is still a lot of improvements needed.
