How it Began
In 2019, Lynne Corvaglia was completing an internship at the The Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) in Turrialba, Costa Rica, which connected her with many women entrepreneurs throughout the region. This experience made her aware of the harsh realities of gender inequality in Turrialba. Inspired by a vision to create alternative economic opportunities, Lynne, along with her husband Christian Riquelme, seized the chance presented by Southwest Airlines®' Repurpose with Purpose Program. The result? Wearsos, a social enterprise aimed at upcycling goods to empower, educate, and employ women.
Navigating a journey spanning many years, the duo has faced many challenges and set backs. Despite these, Wearsos is now making remarkable social impacts in the community of Turrialba. The story of Wearsos is a testament to resilience, turning challenges into opportunities, and a commitment to empowering communities through sustainable practices.
