We believe in
opportunity. |
|
 |
| |
|
Monthly support for the project areas listed below will provide
opportunities to struggling families in Nicaragua... |
| |
|
to help our brothers and
sisters Survive... |
 |
Water & Sanitation
|
|
We drill deep artesian wells and build storage and
distribution systems to provide clean, abundant water to
communities, schools, orphanages, and health facilities.
We work alongside families to construct strong sanitary
latrines and shower facilities, as well as basic waste
management systems.

|
 |
|
|
Preventative & Curative Health Care |
 |
Our Nicaraguan and missionary medical professionals
teach basic preventative health classes in 20 rural
communities. We attend to the sick in these locations as
well as offer free life changing surgeries at the St.
Martin de Porress Surgical Hospital that we help build
in 2001. Over 6000 people are served each year in our
health programs. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
and to help them Thrive... |
Education & Nutrition
|
|
We build primary schools in areas where the local
government has no budget. The Feeding Centers we
construct next to schools encourage nutrition and
increased attendance. We offer post-primary school
scholarships to motivated students who will be the
leaders of tomorrow. |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
Small Business Opportunities
|
|
We offer families a hand up with small amount / low
interest loans using the successful Nobel Prize winning
Grameen Bank model. Our Pay-it-Forward animal program
facilitates ownership of cows, pigs, and chickens to
rural families. They will provide food and income and
produce offspring that will benefit another family. |
 |
|
 |
|
Community Development & Infrastructure
|
 |
|
Together with benefiting families, we build strong
concrete and steel homes in an area that is frequented
by severe tropical storms, and earthquakes. We assist
comm-unities with general infrastructure issues that will
promote better and safer living conditions. Working with
the Youth, we build sports facilities, create leagues,
and promote positive activities like Young Life. |
|
 |
|
What our Volunteers & Missionaries do!
|
 |
|
Each year, several hundred volunteers join us in
Nicaragua to help us in our mission, participating in
all project areas. We treat our mission trips like
retreats to encourage openness to the presence of
Christ. Our long-term missionaries not only serve as
facilitators, but they work beside our Nicaraguan staff
to develop each project into a flourishing program,
benefiting families and glorifying God. |
