Casa Esperanza
What is Casa Esperanza?
Casa Esperanza is a project of A Rocha Costa Rica, located in Los Chiles, on the northern border of Costa Rica. It is a refuge space that provides compassionate and holistic support to migrants in the country.
In partnership with Cadena Foundation, we offer community dining and solidarity lodging services, as well as psychosocial support focused on healing childhood and women’s trauma in situations of high vulnerability.
This support is complemented by alternative therapies, such as art therapy and gardening, as well as spiritual assistance. All of this is made possible thanks to the generosity of those who donate and collaborate with our work.
Over the past year, we have supported migrant populations who have crossed the Darién jungle, fleeing from situations of severe violence and instability in countries such as Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Haiti, among others. Likewise, during 2024 and so far in 2025, as a result of political decisions in the region, we have also provided assistance to people returning to South America.
Between March and September 2025, we have served 22,451 plates of hot food and provided shelter to 6,360 people, 46% of whom are minors.
More than just a shelter, Casa Esperanza seeks to be a place of dignity, care, and hope, offering human and community support in the midst of the migratory journey.
