On September 23rd, the Technical Secretariat of the National Network for Child Care and Development (REDCUDI) held the first edition of the "Protectors of Childhood" (Protectores de la Niñez) event. This initiative aims to recognize organizations that have significantly contributed to strengthening childcare and the integral development of children in Costa Rica.

On this occasion, F.J. Orlich Hnos Ltda and Nespresso were distinguished for their commitment to the "Casas de la Alegría" program, implemented since 2022 in various parts of the country. Thanks to the sustained support from both companies, this program has contributed to the well-being and protection of children, allowing working parents to have peace of mind knowing their children receive quality care while they participate in harvesting tasks.

This recognition reflects a commitment to social responsibility, equity, and sustainability. It also reaffirms the importance of public-private partnerships in driving projects that promote human development and social inclusion within the Costa Rican coffee community. REDCUDI recognizes F.J. Orlich Hnos Ltda and Nespresso as strategic allies in protecting children's rights, consolidating a collaboration model where business excellence and social commitment go hand in hand.
