Brief Synopsis

Andrea Meon˜o was the founder of Hope Home, a center for early childhood education in San Jose´ , Costa Rica. The goal of the center was to provide education and daily care to children of disadvantaged families, especially single mothers for whom it was a real challenge to maintain a permanent job to sustain their children, and at the same time, provide them with adequate care and attention. Andrea felt that offering these women’s children a quiet space for learning, playing, interacting with other children and developing emotionally would have a real, positive impact on her community and fulfill her desire to work for a higher purpose… she had to figure out the best way to
grow her business, ensuring financial sustainability while keeping true to her original purpose of helping vulnerable mothers by providing their children with excellent educational opportunities.
