Costa Rica Chapter

The Costa Rica Chapter aims to advance the SDGs by amplifying existing member initiatives and creating new collaborations between ongoing projects. The group seeks to start with actions in Costa Rica, then expand to Central America, and eventually to all of Latin America. It focuses on promoting entrepreneurship and building connections with different entrepreneurial networks. Sustainability is a top priority, along with strengthening the relationship between impact investments and the SDGs.

San Jose, Costa Rica

I am a social impact entrepreneur on the food production area. I learned about the power of Tendrel for social good in Peru, where my husband lead a Tendrel forum, which was my motivation to be a part of Catalyst. Now in Costa Rica I am starting a new business to tackle climate change issues through creative organic waste processing into insect protein.
