"In Árbol de Esperanza I have empowered myself as a woman and as an entrepreneur"
Marilyn Chinchilla
"Árbol de Esperanza was my unconditional support in a hard moment in my life because only they understood what was happening to me and thus they could help me to get ahead and empower me and tell me, that if I can get ahead I'm important and I can fight for what I want and I deserve (...) I learned to value myself and love myself as I am".
Sandra Osorio
"It is a personalized program that helps restore self-esteem by restoring faith in oneself (...) it was a unique experience to be able to count on that unconditional support at the right time because humanity does not discriminate against sex, religion or race, (...) They took my hand and told me you're not alone, we're going to walk together until you can do it on your own again and best of all, they didn't let me go until they made sure that if I fell I had the strength to get up again".
Socorro
"The warm treatment, the service and the experience was very pleasant. I really liked the accompaniment, the organization and how the professionals gave us confidence. I am very grateful for everything they supported us with and the tools they gave us, empower us to get ahead and develop ventures, listening to the experiences of other people and seeing how everyone taking small steps can achieve great things and projects, starting from the bottom, from 1 to 10. Thank you very much for everything"
Silvia Rodriguez
"I participated in Árbol de Esperanza and as its name indicates, it has been the best thing that has happened to me and my family, it gave us hope to continue and be able to get out of the difficult situation in which I found myself. They made me get up and it grow like a tree and what they taught me in its three stages was very useful to keep me standing like that tree, I left with entrepreneurship to continue with my life. They were a tree full of hope. 🥰"
