BOOKS FOR ALL 2025 FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN has raised $19,550 out of their goal of $38,000
About the Campaign
Transforming Education in Costa Rica
At Peninsula Papagayo, we are tackling an urgent issue affecting children in our surrounding communities: lack of access to essential educational resources. Through our community outreach program, Creciendo Juntos, we are raising awareness and funds to ensure every child has the tools they need to succeed.
Our Impact
Since 2011, Peninsula Papagayo’s Books for All campaign has provided essential textbooks to an average of 1,300 students every year, ranging from first to sixth grade. Before this initiative, students had to rely on whiteboard copies and limited photocopies. Today, thanks to generous supporters like you, every student receives their own set of books, which significantly enhances their learning experience and eases the teachers’ workload.
Help Us Continue Our Mission
We have set a goal to raise $37,250, allowing us to support 14 schools and approximately 1,500 students. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a real impact. You also have the unique opportunity to sponsor an entire school! Here’s how your support can help:

Why Your Donation Matters:
Textbooks are crucial for enhancing education. They allow teachers to focus on the students who may need extra help and enable students to study independently at home. Books also help students stay on track if they miss classes and were especially vital during the pandemic when digital access was limited. Your support provides these essential resources and ensures all students have what they need to succeed.
