Since 1976, PADF has consistently supported Costa Rica in vocational training, strengthening cooperatives, and providing disaster relief, building self-reliance and community resilience.

Building on this legacy, the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) has been working in Costa Rica since 2021 to promote the well-being of vulnerable populations, foster sustainable livelihoods, and strengthen rights and justice. Through strategic partnerships and innovative projects, PADF has contributed to inclusive and sustainable development.

During 2024, PADF has achieved significant milestones, highlighting its commitment to local communities, migrants, and other vulnerable groups. We have worked to strengthen capacities, empower key actors, and provide essential services that support the well-being and physical and mental health of migrants in vulnerable situations, especially in border areas, hand in hand with our implementing partners.
