Costa Rica’s first woman president, Laura Chinchilla, made good on one of her presidential campaign promises last night, announcing officially the creation of the Red Nacional de Cuido (National Daycare Network) with a pledge of ¢11 billion colones to the poorest communities in the country.
The program is expected to benefit some 400 children under the age of 5, enabling mothers to work outside the home.
Chinchilla said the program is a high priority item for her government that in its second phase will also provide care for seniors.
The presidenta signed a directive to allocate resources to Fondo de Asignaciones Familiares (FODESAF) – family allowance program – that will manage the child care network.
