Asociación Educación Plus de Costa Rica
Educación Plus in the UK exists to support the continuing fruitful work of Asociación Educación Plus de Costa Rica among shantytown children. This mission was started in 1992 and was first formally set up as a charity in Costa Rica in 1994.
Educación Plus acts as an holistic ministry to the children of the shanty towns around the capital city San José. Schooling is free in Costa Rica, and provided the children have a uniform, including shoes and a school bag with basic equipment they are eligible to attend. By providing these necessities, Educación Plus has enabled hundreds of children each year to attend school. In addition, Educación Plus organises sports, Bible study groups, Christmas parties with presents, and holiday camps for these seriously deprived children. One of the main strengths of the work has been the personal contacts with the individual families, enabling many of the crises of poverty to be resolved and thereby ensuring that the children continue to attend school. Rev. Keith Holder, the founder of the mission excelled in this work with the families and children. He has been ably assisted by paid Costa Rican staff workers and several part time volunteers. Although Keith returned to the UK in 2015, he continues to travel to Costa Rica, at the invitation of the work. This is usually from the end of December to February/March. This is the period when the summer holiday camps take place followed shortly after by the start of the new school year. During the course of the year the funds raised and sent helped towards the provision of three holiday camps, three football championships for boys and girls, museum visits, vacation Bible schools and the delivery of 360 food baskets, benefitting 60 families. In all, the ministry worked with 450 children and their families across the three communities they worked in. Also during the course of the year substantial funds were received to aid towards the purchase of a new property for the purpose of providing vocational training programmes.
Educación Plus, UK, was set up in 1995 by Rev. Keith Holder’s friends and supporters to provide prayerful and financial support for the work in Costa Rica. Income for 2024 was £74588.64. The income is made up largely of regular donations with occasional single gifts and sponsored funds. Change of Trustees
