What We Do
We love to dream, but great ideas only work when coupled with dedicated action.
Our Story
Our founders, Jason & Sarah, have been partnering with the overcomers in their community and beyond for over 20 years. While much of their time has been spent in a small town in Costa Rica where they live, the work of the Nikao Foundation has taken them all over the world. They have traveled to North & South America, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
Wherever they go, their hearts are drawn to those in need. Jason & Sarah founded the Nikao Foundation to be an outlet to channel resources, volunteers, and sustainability into communities in need.
Our Mission
Nikao is the greek word for “overcomer.” We love partnering with those who are struggling, forgotten, and considered the “underdog.” Our mission is to come alongside those who are looking to overcome the struggles and barriers in their communities, businesses, and families. We provide a relational approach to aiding our partners with the support structure and resources needed for their community.

Why partner with us?
We take a relational & sustainable approach to the projects we tackle and the partnerships we create. Through our years of hands-on experience, we have learned that not all help is enabling. As we develop ongoing projects in our community and beyond, we are constantly assessing what is healthy, what our partner’s responsibility is, and how we can do the job with excellence.
By partnering with us you will get real resources into the hands that truly need them, giving a hand up instead of a hand out. We would love to talk about these opportunities, our ongoing projects, and current needs!
