The mission of Soy Nina is (1) to empower girls who live in conditions of vulnerability, offering a safe space to get to know themselves and meet with their peers so that through their own experiences, meaningful learning, playful activities and the collective construction of knowledge, they can develop and strengthen their socio-emotional skills that allow them to take care of themselves, stay in school and make informed decisions regarding their own lives and (2) to create awareness on the unique challenges that all girls under 18 face in Costa Rica and globally. After almost three and a half years since their beginning, they have worked mostly with girls aged 6-12 years in three vulnerable communities in Desamparados, San Jose, Costa Rica. Their program is on-going and the great majority of girls have stayed in the program throughout the years. Soy Nina's main program is "Club Nina" (Girls Club), a free-of-charge after-school program with affinity to the public education system's calendar, based on life-skills development, human rights, early comprehensive sexual education, all with age-appropriate information and activities.
