Nikao is the Greek word for “overcomer”. We love partnering with those who are struggling, forgotten, and considered the “underdog”.

Omschrijving van de beoordeling

Our founders, Jason and Sarah, have dedicated the past two decades of their lives to forging partnerships with resilient individuals in their local community and beyond. Although their primary focus has centered on a small town in Costa Rica, where they currently reside and operate, their unwavering commitment has propelled them to diverse corners of the globe, including North and South America, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Wherever their journey takes them, their compassionate spirits are drawn to those facing adversity. The Nikao Foundation is a conduit to direct vital resources, mobilize volunteers, and foster sustainable solutions within vulnerable communities. This foundation serves as an avenue to extend support to those in need, manifesting their unwavering dedication to uplifting others.

We take a relational and sustainable approach when engaging in collaborative projects. Drawing from our extensive hands-on experience, we have come to recognize the importance of discerning assistance that truly empowers individuals. As we continue to develop projects within our community and extend our reach further, we consistently evaluate what constitutes a healthy endeavor, identify our partners' responsibilities, and strive for excellence in our work.

By choosing to work with us, you can rest assured that tangible resources will be directed towards those who genuinely require support, providing them with a genuine opportunity to progress. Rather than simply offering a handout, we are dedicated to extending a hand up, fostering sustainable and long-term growth. We would be delighted to engage in a discussion about the various opportunities available, provide insights into our ongoing projects, and discuss our present requirements.

We look forward to the prospect of collaborating with you!
