TRANSFORMA

TRANSFORMA Restoring dignity to mothers & families in ultra poverty through holistic sustainable development. Join our efforts, change lives!

TRANSFORMA works with women, children and immigrants living in extreme/ultra poverty in Costa Rica. Most of our participants are afflicted by social/job exclusion, unemployment, low education, violence, insecurity, lack of decent housing, family disintegration, early motherhood and more. To prevent sexual/ domestic violence and human trafficking is a very important goal for our programs. Our Human

development, leadership and neuro management programs, are both based on biblical and scientific approaches. We provide entrepreneurial, bussines and leadership education. As well as soft and technical skill development (sewing, hair styling, makeup, manicure/pedicure, jewelry, cooking, English, among others). We make materials and equipment available so women can produce their items and services; sell them for their own saving plans so they can purchase their own equipment, materials and spendable. Our Social Leadership Lab has trained over 1500 national and international social impact leaders since 2014. Our organization provides spiritual and emotional support throughout the programs and processes. TRANSFORMA is sustained thanks to the generosity and love of individuals, families, churches and corporations that help with financial and other donations.

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 🧠✨
Our mental wellbeing affects everything we do — how we think, connect, and show up in the world.
Here are 5 small daily habits backed by neuroscience and Biblical principles that can make a big difference:
🙏 Give thanks
🧘‍♀️ Meditate / Pray
😄 Rejoice
💭 Transform your thoughts
🏃‍♀️ Exercise

Each habit helps release feel-good chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins — God’s natural design for balance and joy.
Let’s care for our minds, just as we care for our bodies and spirits. 💚

👩‍👧 Positive Parenting, Stronger Futures

In many of the families we walk alongside, moms carry the full responsibility of the home. That’s why our positive parenting programs are so vital—equipping mothers with practical tools to nurture, guide, and protect their children. 💜

This year, several of these courageous mothers are also completing professional childcare certifications 👩‍🏫. These achievements not only strengthen their own households but also create safe, caring environments for other children in the community.

Every step forward means greater protection, prevention, and wellbeing for families. 🌱

💡 Household Finances, Lasting Impact

Half of the moms in our Transformational Development Center are currently enrolled in an international course called Finances for the Home. Guided by a professional with experience in the financial sector, they are learning how to budget, manage household finances, and make wise decisions that strengthen their families.

Every certificate earned is more than just a credential — it’s a step toward resilience, dignity, and brighter opportunities for the future. 🌱✨

🍌🍊🍳🥚 Nutrition that strengthens families.

Good health begins with good nutrition. Through monthly donations of fresh produce, grains, eggs, and vitamins, Transforma is helping families strengthen their immune systems— especially in this rainy season, when colds and flu spread more easily.

Because transformation isn’t just about learning — it’s about caring for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.🌱

🚨 Since 2018, 326,900 Nicaraguans have sought refugee or asylum status in Costa Rica — escaping repression, violence, and the erosion of their basic rights. (UNHCR Costa Rica Report, Dec 2024)

For a country of just over 5 million people, Costa Rica now hosts an estimated 1 million Nicaraguans — making up one of the highest proportions of refugees and migrants in the entire region. More than half of all Nicaraguan refugees worldwide are here.

Behind these staggering numbers are families facing overcrowding, instability, and uncertainty. Yet in the midst of crisis, Transforma walks with them, offering holistic support, skills for life, and spaces of dignity and hope.

🌍 We are part of a much larger global family through our partners at .

Last month, we gathered with leaders from Dominican Republic, Guatemala, El Salvador, Perú, Colombia, and the USA for an annual training and Global Summit focused on caring for the vulnerable, hosted by (Christian Alliance for Orphans - Latin America).

Together, we are transforming thousands of lives across Latin America every year—united by faith, collaboration, and a shared mission to bring hope and restoration to vulnerable children and families. 💜

🍽️ At Transforma, our monthly food distribution is never just a bag of food. It’s stability, care, and the reminder that children are seen and valued.

Every week, our feeding program nourishes dozens of children—body, mind, and spirit. Alongside meals, we offer tutoring, emotional support, and faith-filled spaces that help families build resilience for the future. 🌱

This is what wraparound support looks like: holistic care that transforms lives. 💜

🎉 What a day of pure joy! For many children in our community, daily life means overcrowded spaces and no safe place to play.

Our National Children's Day celebration gave them an opportunity they rarely have — a safe, open park to laugh, play, and build memories with their families. 🌈 More than 150 children, parents, and volunteers came together to rejoice and share in unforgettable moments of fun.

All of this was possible because of the love and the incredible support of our partners at Unbridled Acts. 💜

At Transforma, we believe every child deserves opportunities like these — where joy, dignity, and community come together. 🌱

Love. Empower. Impact.

“Transforma is a refuge, a safe place, and a great blessing to my family.”

This is what happens when families are given more than temporary relief—they’re given the opportunity to truly thrive.
