"Education is the most powerful weapon for changing the world." ~ Nelson Mandela 

Nicaragua is a country about the size of Alabama. The population is 5.3 million with 4 million living in poverty earning less than $1.00 per day; that translates to 75% of the population is in dire need. In the Western Hemisphere, Nicaragua is the poorest nation second only to Haiti. The adult population suffers from a 33% illiteracy rate with 50% of the children dropping out of school before completing the 5th grade, usually because the parents cannot afford school supplies. There is 1 doctor for every 2,700 people and only 50% of the population has access to the most basic of medical supplies.

This project is designed to help these kids get an education for their future. Please help any way you can!
