Monteverde's Emergency Fund:
Working together in the face of global adversity.
Monteverde has felt a deep economic impact by the recent events in the world: with the arrival of COVID-19 to Costa Rica and the extended lockdown on our borders preventing tourists from traveling into the country, a large percentage of our community will have little to no income for the following months, as many businesses have had to let employees go in the midst of this uncertainty.
After Hurricane Nate in 2017, we recognized the community's ability to unite in response to adversity, and the need for a centralized fund that can redirect donations in a transparent and timely manner.
For this reason, we have teamed up with the Municipal Emergency Commission and Liaison Commission, handing over our existing capital and offering them our fund collection service. Starting March 23rd 2020, we have been using our platforms to collect donations and redirect all funds to the local Liaison Commission.
