Help us support the success of our girls. When one girl succeeds in harnessing her power to make different choices, she inspires others to do so too. She starts a movement toward greater independence that impacts her family, her community, her country, and the world. That's Girls For Success. Girls For Success is led and supported by people and partners who are committed to unlocking the power of local girls here in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. We want to ensure that their voices, needs and motivations are met as they develop their skills for success. Our belief in their potential as future leaders of their communities informs all that we do. However, for over a decade, classes have been held in inadequate spaces, such as rental homes, which are often cramped, dark, hot and poorly maintained by overstretched landlords. We have now acquired a lot to build a new space to house all of this beautiful potential, but we need your help so we can begin building the girls their own school. Please help us meet our $23,000 goal. Every donation, regardless of size, is one step toward this dream. • 100% of the funds raised will go to materials and construction costs. •

Our Story: Hi, our names are Steve and Gina. We live in Puerto Viejo Costa Rica, where we volunteer for Girls For Success (GFS), a non-profit English school for girls and young women. The students, ages 6 to 16, live in the underserved town of Hone Creek, Costa Rica. We are raising funds to build our own school and fulfill this community's dream.
