Education & Welfare Program
Business Institute Foundation of the Americas
Empowering Indigenous Youth in Costa Rica & Panama
Across the remote border regions of Costa Rica and Panama, many indigenous children face overwhelming barriers to learning — from poverty and malnutrition to lack of basic school supplies. The Education & Welfare Program was created to remove those barriers and open the door to a brighter, more equitable future.
We provide essential school supplies, uniforms, shoes, clothing, and nutritional support to children and youth living in conditions of social risk. Each donation helps a child stay in school, feel proud in a new uniform, and have the tools they need to learn and dream.
Your support doesn’t just provide materials — it restores hope, dignity, and opportunity for the next generation of leaders in these underserved communities.
