My Abuelito left a legacy of giving back to those in need when you have the opportunity. That being said, I will be traveling to Nicaragua for the first time this August 2017 and want to do just that! After doing some research on this culturally rich country I couldn't help but give back to those in need. From families in poverty, lack of clean water, higher education and more. Please help me raise money towards those in need! Any little bit helps and is deeply appreciated. Please and thank YOU!

Help Nicaragua's Poor Climb out of Poverty

project picture

Nicaragua,

In Nicaragua, approximately 30% of the population lives on less than $2 per day, and in rural areas, poverty rates are especially high, where 50% of households live in extreme poverty. With limited access to good schools or job opportunities, rural Nicaraguan families often rely on operating small farms for food and to earn a livelihood. By providing training and financial support for the two most promising enterprises- agriculture and tourism- impoverished populations can rise above poverty. progress report

Healing Children's Hearts in Nicaragua

project picture

Nicaragua,

Children

Surgeons of Hope Foundation sends volunteer medical teams on life-saving missions to provide heart surgery for the children of Nicaragua. Surgical procedures that are commonplace in the developed world are out of reach to poor countries. Surgeons of Hope Foundation is closing that gap by providing surgery to children, training and equipping the local medical team, and constructing a new, modern pediatric cardiac center on site. The new Heart Center opened in late 2013. progress report

2018 Girl Fund Members

We use soccer, the world's most popular team sport, as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of girls ages 5-20 in Granada, Nicaragua. A team can be the most powerful change agent in a young girl's development, proven to inspire healthy choices regarding drugs, sex, alcohol, academics, and nutrition. Through a combination of on and off-field activities, including school scholarships and tutoring, the program creates pathways to uncommon outcomes for the girls of Granada. progress report

Economic Empowerment for 130 Women in Nicaragua

project picture

Nicaragua,

Women and Girls

Self-Help has been working to alleviate hunger in Nicaragua since 1999. Providing opportunities for women to learn business operations, and loans ($50-200) to initiate these enterprises is proving to be successful in this mission. Training and loans for new groups of women, and value-added enterprises further strengthen women's income and voices in society. In order to continue these efforts, funding is needed to support these objectives. Self-Help is proud of its 97 percent return on loans. progress report

Diarrhea is the leading cause of malnutrition in children under five years old. Self-Help International is working with thousands of farm families in Nicaragua to improve food security & alleviate malnutrition. However, poor water quality is compromising these efforts. Water-borne diseases can be life-threatening and regularly prevent parents from working and children from attending school. Affordable access to safe drinking water improves health for thousands of Nicaraguans, especially children progress report

Harvesting Hope for Indigenous Women in Nicaragua

Sustainable Development Goal #2 - No Hunger

On the North Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua, Indigenous families confront extreme poverty and hunger. To combat these threats, MADRE and our longtime sister organization Wangki Tangni provide Indigenous women with the tools they need to survive, including training in organic farming and vegetable seeds. Women farmers are growing healthy foods to feed their families. And through MADRE-organized local farmers markets, women are selling surplus produce to earn much-needed income. progress report

Radios: A Lifeline to Safety for Nicaraguan Women

project picture

Nicaragua,

Women and Girls

In remote communities on the North Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua, Indigenous women are in danger. They suffer from high rates of abuse at the hands of their partners. They need information on the services available to them, including safe housing. But often that information is out of reach-too far away, or written in a language they don't understand. That's why MADRE and our sister organization Wangki Tangni support women's right to a life free from violence through an innovative radio project. progress report
