Nicaragua is a place where we invest in ongoing sustainable change. Our focus areas include supporting micro-loans that transform lives and communities and funding students at an entrepreneurial high school.

In Nicaragua, we support micro-loans that transform lives and communities, and fund students at an entrepreneurial high school.

Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, rich both in history and traditions. Beauty can be found in every corner, but so can poverty; it’s the second-poorest country in the region, with 75% of the population living below the poverty line.

Though education is free throughout the country, schools and resources are hard to come by in rural areas. Poverty aside, this country is full of incredible people who just need an opportunity.

Insight trips to Nicaragua are typically 6 days long, which gives us time to experience the culture and meet the people we serve.

Their programs are designed to holistically address a range of economic, social and spiritual issues.
