Known as the “land of lakes and volcanoes”, Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, but is also identified by the Council on Foreign Relations as the poorest financially.
Due to years of civil unrest and governmental divide, Nicaragua faces many challenges in relation to basic human rights and social services. Malnutrition is a chronic problem – devastating both young and old, as well as lack of clean water and a commitment to education.
Through a long-term partnership with a local church in Managua, we are working to address these needs through the sponsorship program. This includes a monthly food basket for children, regular community trainings and consistent opportunities to hear the Gospel. We also host a feeding and discipleship program for school-age children. Lives are being changed in Nicaragua because of people like you!
