What is Hogar Siembra?
Hogar Siembra is a private protection alternative for adolescent women at social risk, located in the city of Alajuela, Costa Rica. It works under specialized care of sexual abuse model, construction of the life project, transition to independence and companionship as they transition into productive adults.
It currently serves 43 young women between the ages of 12 and 18, 78% of whom have been victims of sexual abuse, 87% lived in extreme poverty, and 40% suffered domestic violence. All have been legally declared in a state of abandonment.
Thirty-eight years have passed since a group of people highly committed to Costa Rican society decided to build this space, to transform the lives of young women at social risk, through empowerment, education and work training.
Since its founding in 1983, hundreds of girls have benefited from this successful program, which continues to evolve and impact the lives of young girls.
Hogar Siembra bases its principles on the set of all laws, conventions and declarations related to childhood and adolescence, known as the Convention on the Rights of Children, promoted by UNICEF and PANI (Costa Rica’s National Children’s Board).
Young women under 18 in this charter are considered “social entities with full rights and responsibilities corresponding to progressive autonomy and they are national development participants in all areas as an integral part of society and not a subset of it.”
