Summary
Who we are partnering with: Amigos for Christ is a nonprofit organization that facilitates leadership, water, health, education, and economic development in rural Nicaraguan communities. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Nicaraguan neighbors to bring opportunity to rural communities in need. By working together, we spark transformational growth in people, families, and communities. We believe transformative life-change occurs through a combination of making opportunity accessible and reducing preventable obstacles to growth, all within the context of intentional, long-term relationships with an emphasis on community leadership. What we will be doing: During your trip, you might find yourself digging a water line, practicing English with the students at the Amigos Academy, or planting dragon fruit on a 1 Manzana farm! Whatever we are doing that week, at the core we strive to serve so that Christ is made more visible. Over the past 20 years, Amigos for Christ has established itself as one of the major participants in alleviating water and sanitation obstacles in the department of Chinandega, Nicaragua. In rural Nicaragua, 69% of families lack access to clean water in their homes. The direct consequence of this on a family’s health is dire. Parasitic infections, kidney disease, and chronic childhood diarrhea contribute to a lower life expectancy and make everyday activities like going to school and work very difficult. We are committed to changing this in rural Nicaragua so that families can live healthy, purpose-filled lives. ).
