Invest in a future without limits

Your support for the Terra Nova Program will empower young people to become the innovators and leaders of tomorrow, driving progress for us all.

Why Donate

The Terra Nova Program, a collaborative initiative between Guanacaste Children’s Community Center and Hope Across Borders, aims to provide high-quality, technology-focused educational opportunities to youth in Costa Rica. This program will equip participants with essential digital skills, fostering their academic growth, and preparing them for future success in an increasingly digital world. While the program has a tuition fee, it is designed to be affordable, and scholarships are available to ensure that deserving students are not excluded due to financial constraints.

The Need

While Costa Rica is making strides in technological advancement, access to resources and training remains unevenly distributed. Many talented and motivated young people, particularly in underserved communities, lack the financial means and access to technology that would allow them to develop crucial digital skills. This disparity creates a significant barrier to their educational and economic advancement.
