Campaign Story
-- ENGLISH --
Do you love pineapples?
Well, a lot of those pineapples are produced near the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua and collected mostly by irregular migrant people under inadequate working conditions.
Today, the spotlight is on this area because many of these workers are getting infected with the virus because they have no access to masks, alcohol and other protection equipment against the virus. Their families neither.
As a costarican citizen, I make a call for funds with the purpose of buying protective stuff against COVID19 for this people and their families. This way, we could reduce the infection rate on this area and restart the local economy soon.
Let's save lives!
-- ESPAÑOL --
Hoy en Costa Rica estamos lidiando con la segunda ola de casos de COVID19 y la atención se centra en la zona norte debido a que muchas personas trabajan en piñeras sin ningún tipo de protección contra el virus, sus familias también carecen de estos equipos. Aunado a esto, los bajos salarios impiden que éstas familias tengan un acceso adecuado a equipo. .
Ésta campaña está orientada justamente a la recaudación de dinero con el objetivo de comprar Equipo básico de protección (mascarillas, caretas, alcohol, jabón lavamanos) para familias de ésta zona.
Juntos en colaboración ciudadana podemos ayudar a reducir la tasa de contagio en la zona fronteriza y garantizar acceso a EPP para todas y todos.
