AmaTierra Foundation promotes sustainable development in the rural community of Turrubares Costa Rica

The AmaTierra foundation aims to promote sustainable development and cultural tourism in our rural county of Turrubares, Costa Rica. With the support of the local community and international volunteers and contributors, the AmaTierra Foundation was created in order to empower the people of Turrubares and provide new opportunities and community programs, such as recycling, eco-cultural tourism, health education and after-school programs.

We are counting on your support and generosity in order to raise funds and ensure the success of these essential programs.

Helping the children of Costa Rica is the goal of the non-profit organization at AmaTierra Educating the young people of Costa Rica in the preservation of the environment and importance of recycling AmaTierra's first charitable project is to assist the people of Turrubares create a recycling center

The people of Turrubares are simple and honest folk who will do anything to help their friends and neighbors.

Even though they are among the poorest people in Costa Rica, and many are unemployed, we are inspired by their upbeat attitudes, strong Spirits and their willingness to work hard for the benefit of their families. Together we can help improve their lives.

Our first project is to coordinate a recycling program. Currently, Turrubares residents are burning their trash. Much education is needed, as well as infrastructure to organize the recycling.

Our Foundation is working with the local municipality, the mayor and the high school to quickly enact this important green program.
