OUR IMPACT IN 2022

  • MENTORING PROGRAM FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

    Through the mentoring program for young entrepreneurs and thanks to the support of volunteers, 60 virtual sessions were given on finance, social networks, legal issues and other topics, where entrepreneurs put into practice each workshop to innovate and transform their small businesses.

  • ONLINE TRAINING FOR NGOs

    We managed to give 100 follow-up sessions through the “FUNDRAISING AND PROPOSALS” program to the Federation of Patients' NGOs of Costa Rica, in which they learned educational tools for the proper functioning of their foundations.

  • SECOND LANGUAGE PROGRAM

    As part of our education, we promote the importance of developing a second language, to help children, youth, adults, and seniors reach their full potential and, consequently, help grow the communities we serve. We focus our efforts on communication, awareness, training and bonding.

  • ONLINE WORKSHOPS

    40 Workshops were successfully completed. Customer Service Strategies, Self-Love, Aromatherapy, Senior Support, Coping with Loss (Resilience, Plan to Move Forward – Finances from The Allstate Foundation). Relationships between parents and adolescents in crisis. In attendance, there are more than 300 participants during each session on a monthly basis.

  • CLUBS

    We create and design Early Childhood Friendly Spaces, in an effort to create an environment that favors the integral and cognitive development of children, through online clubs where boys and girls learn while having fun. TALITA CUMI CR has educated more than 1,000 seniors and their families through various webinars, events, forums, and support groups.

  • SOCIAL AID

    During the course of 2022 we carried out different food collecting campaigns to support other foundations and institutions. We donated books and school materials to CECUDI ATENAS. We provided Pro Mundo Foundation (Chepe se Baña) food and personal hygiene items for its street dwellers.

    We helped people in extreme poverty with food donations and everyday necessities. We also helped in five cases of domestic violence, where we provided psychological and economic support. We provided food packages to low-income families during the 12 months of the year; impacting 6 families through this social aid.

  • VOLUNTEER

    Through our volunteer corps we offered sessions on different topics, as well as extracurricular support, seeking a sustainable program over time and long-term impact. In total 8,000 volunteer hours were completed by volunteers from Talita Cumi CR.

    More than 30 families benefited from virtual psychotherapy, empowering themselves to cope with depression, anxiety, loneliness, mourning, caused by domestic violence and other life crises.
