Our work focuses on improving the quality of life for older adults in the Blue Zone of the Nicoya Peninsula, particularly those in vulnerable situations. Through various programs, we provide guidance, social support, and promote research and education on healthy aging.
We make regular visits to centenarians and long-lived older adults in their homes to learn about their circumstances, lifestyle, and any needs they may have. This support allows us to maintain direct, personal contact with each person, providing ongoing monitoring and assistance when needed.
Over the years, we have had the opportunity to meet and support hundreds of older adults in the region, learning from their life experiences and strengthening their bonds with their families and communities. This close collaboration allows us to identify needs and find solutions that help improve their well-being and quality of life.
One of our main programs is to provide assistance to older adults facing economic or social vulnerability. To this end, we distribute essential goods that help improve their daily well-being.
This support aims to ensure that centenarians and people over the age of 90 have access to basic resources that allow them to live with greater dignity and peace of mind. Thanks to the generosity of our staff and volunteers, this assistance reaches those who need it most.
We support and promote scientific research on longevity and healthy aging in the Nicoya Peninsula, a region renowned worldwide for the extraordinary longevity of its population.
Our work focuses on research aimed at understanding the factors that contribute to a long and healthy life, including social, cultural, and lifestyle factors. The knowledge generated by these studies provides valuable insights for science and helps promote the value of the Blue Zone on the Nicoya Peninsula.
We promote educational initiatives aimed at raising awareness among younger generations about healthy aging, the importance of longevity, and respect for older adults.
Through educational and outreach activities, we promote the exchange of knowledge across generations, highlighting the culture, values, and wisdom that older adults can share with society. In this way, we help foster a culture of respect, learning, and well-being within the community.
