Music That Shines:
Giving the Gift of Music to Children in Costa Rica
The Juliana Mazza Foundation believes that every child deserves the chance to dream, create, and express themselves — no matter their circumstances.
By donating new or gently used musical instruments, we help build school bands, inspire creativity, and foster confidence in young minds who need it most.
Each instrument represents more than music — it’s a message of hope, love, and opportunity. Through this program, Juliana’s light shines beyond borders, reminding children that their voices matter and their dreams are worth pursuing.
