CA Cares is the social impact arm of CA Travelers. From the beginning of our journey with local guides, we understood that fair pay was only the first step. The community of San José Calderas faces ongoing challenges, and we have made a long-term commitment—not just to our guides, but to the entire community.
Thanks to the continued trust and support of our travelers, we’ve been able to expand our reach and work hand-in-hand with local families and the community school.
At CA Travelers, we believe education and healthcare are the most powerful tools for sustainable development. That’s why, through CA Cares, we have:
Provided qualified teachers to help children reach their full potential.
Awarded high school scholarships to local students.
Enabled internet access through a Starlink satellite connection.
Equipped the school kitchen to ensure children receive at least one nutritious meal a day.
Conducted personal hygiene workshops to promote healthy habits.
Hosted photography workshops with professionals like David Rojas.
Received book donations from generous travelers like you.
Supported improvements to school infrastructure.
Helped students develop academic and professional skills to prepare them for higher education or the job market.
And this is just the beginning. We believe everyone has a role to play in creating meaningful change—whether by donating books, volunteering time, or sharing knowledge. Every contribution counts. As long as CA Travelers continues operating, CA Cares will remain firmly committed to uplifting the communities we serve. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’re creating real and lasting change.
