The holidays are upon us...and what could be a better gift than HOPE?!
With these beautiful alternative gift cards, your gift gives twice -- once here to your loved ones and again in Nicaragua.
"GIFTS OF HOPE"
How it works:
1. Select the project you want to support
2. Use the "Buy Now" button to donate your gift amount to that project
3. We'll send you a gift card to personalize and give to your loved one. (Or we can send the card directly to them for you!)
Choose Your "Gift of Hope" Project:
 LOANING HOPE! JustHope has micro-credit projects which support women's enterprises in Chacraseca and Santa Emilia. The microcredit loans are for small businesses including sewing, jewelry-making, small pulperias (stores); poultry/pork raising; bakeries, etc. Woman work in small groups to decide on each woman's project, apply for JustHope loans, start the enterprise; and repay the loan. 
 DAY OF HEALTH CARE!
The average income of the 1500 families who live in Chacraseca, Nicaragua is $2 per day. Without the small clinic JustHope maintains, most of the community could not access health care. JustHope's Clinic Project provides medical staff, equipment, and medication support for an average of 250 women, men, and children per week. $50 will provide health care for one day.
"BECAS" (School Scholarships)
School is free in Nicaragua, but students need clothes, shoes, supplies, and transportation to attend. $40 a year provides one child with a uniform, shoes, socks, backpack, and notebook and pencils. . .
"BUILDING HOPE"
Many families in JustHope's partner communities in Nicaragua live in houses constructed of plastic and rotting wood. JustHope works with these families to build simple but adequate homes. One 12' x 18' concrete block house with a concrete floor and tin roof costs $2000. $25 buys 20 blocks. $200 buys a concrete floor.
