The Hope House: Construction of a community center, called “The hope house” in Jaco. The objective is to offer the locals basic courses such as: English classes, computing, soft skills and blockchain technologies. In addition, this headquarter will be the central point from where all projects will be planed, deployed and supported across the community.
Enviroment: Conservation of the environment by cleaning beaches and mangrove affected by the contamination of the Rio Grande de Tracoles through a waste recycling programs. First of all: Stop and collect plastic before it reaches the ocean, surrounding beaches and mangrove by installing a system similar to those developed by the Ocean Cleanup or Trash Whell. Secondly, develop a self sustainable plastic recycling program to create new finished products from recovered materials.
PROJECTS 2022
Ecotuorism: Development through the creation of a cooperative reserve foundation: The Nambi Sanctuary biological reserve. The goal is to generate local jobs and opportunities while protecting 288 hectares of the endangered Guacalillo mangrove playing a very important role in cleaning the Rio Grande de Tárcoles. To reach our goal we would like to create a park and a research centre owned by individuals using blockchain technologies. The intent is to give the opportunity to anyone to be part of the project by legally owning a physical share of the land. As for now, we are still debating on the most suitable technology (token, NFT, etc.) to use for the project.
Sports: A surf camp: Due to its proximity to a strategic surf point (Penon de Guacalillo) and its alliance with the Costa Rican surf Associations (ACOS), the project will allow training programs, development, and professionalization of the sport.
A skateboarding park: With the aim of building the first high performance professional park in central America and alliance with the Costa Rica Skateboarding Federation. The goal is to professionalize the sport in central America and to offer an attractive place for athletes to train and develop their skills.

- The Rio Grande de Tarcoles, is a river located in Coste Rica. It originates on the southern slopes of the central volcanic mountain range and flows in a southwesterly direction towards the gulf of Nicoya. It is 111km long and its hydrographic basin covers an area of 2121 km2 into which it drains a large part of the greater metropolitan area, where approximately 50% of the population resides.

Approximately 67% of Costa Rica’s untreated organic material and industrial waste is drained from the river to the Pacific Ocean. According to The ocean cleanup foundation, a non profit organisation, developing technologies to rid the world’s oceans from plastic. Rio Tarcoles is one out of the 1000 rivers around the world responsible for roughly 80% of the ocean plastic pollution. The Rio Grande de Tarcoles, is estimated to carry over 211 000 kg of plastic per year to the ocean.

The Nambi Sanctuary biological reserve: Development through
These mangroves are the closest to the Costa Rica capital, approximately 50km away and 40 minutes by car. This aera of 288 hectares, is one of the richest in the country, it is home to a large amount of wildlife. There are about 4 of the 5 species of Mangroves in Costa Rica. Among the animal species that we can find are red limpets, parrots, parakeets, hawks, ospreys, kingfishers, blue and green herons, basilisk-type lizards, crabs, white-face and howler monkeys. This Mangroves is recognized worldwide and is expressed in the book written by expert in Macaws, Christopher Vaughan (Former director for Mesoamerica and the Caribbean wildlife). Mr. Vaughan confirms the importance of preserving this land, in his letters and studies carried out since Mexico to Brazil. It also describes the importance and the role of the population of clams and oysters that live in the mangrove, playing a very important role in cleaning the Rio Grande de Tárcoles.
