February is the beginning of a new school year for Nicaraguan children. Our goal is to help send 400 children to school this year! 

Technically, elementary school is free...

However, buying a uniform, shoes, and school supplies is very expensive. Most families, living on $1 per day (or less), cannot afford these items. 

And for most mothers the thing they

want most in the world is for

their children to receive an education.

$50 a year provides one child with a uniform, shoes and socks, and a backpack, including necessary school supplies.

Please consider donating a scholarship or supplies for us to bring with us on our January PartnerTrip. Email contact.

Update!

Our Pottery Partners, the Lopez family, built 2 new ovens! 

One for just a few items, which saves them fuel. And one for firing many pieces!

Thank you to all our partners who helped make this dream come true! Part of what we'll be doing in our January trip is helping them build a new store! We can't wait to spend some time with them!
