In 2014, Ready to Empower created the NGO Árbol de Esperanza (Tree of Hope), based in San Ramón, Costa Rica. Under the directorship of Psychologist Karen Jara, a leader in advocacy of women’s rights and empowerment, Árbol de Esperanza serves as Ready to Empower’s first partnership and pilot program. Together, Ready to Empower and Árbol de Esperanza work with women to provide empowering support to encourage independence and hope.
