thorough research and much deliberation. Mike Wright, our founder, decided to buy a condo in Costa Rica for an awesome vacation spot. The family first stayed at their condo in 2013 and fell in love with the vibrant culture, amazing beaches, and stress-relief that the central american country provided. It was the perfect getaway.
“We can’t vacation in a place where poverty is so obvious...”
After vacationing a few more times and seeing how many of the locals lived, Mike thought to himself “We can’t vacation in a place where poverty is so obvious...” He felt the urge to help these people… but how?
18 houses have been built by Project Pura Vida. Each and every house build gives a brand new house(s) at no expense to a Costa Rican family. With the teams we have brought to Costa Rica, Project Pura Vida has changed the lives of many families for generations!
As an experienced entrepreneur, I am excited to lead Project Pura Vida, to give back, and to share this special experience with others.
Costa Rica holds such a special place in my heart and I love leading the trips and sharing them through the PPV blog! I can't wait to write and create content for many trips to come.
Working at Project Pura Vida is awesome. I love leading groups because it is a privilege to know the Costa Rican people and to see the impact of the change we create.
We build houses for families living in poverty.
Every one of our projects gifts a house to family in need, 100% free.
A safe, stable home benefits families for years to come.
