Pharmaceuticals to Nicaragua

World Vision is committed to partnering with the people of Nicaragua to enhance their lives today and to help enact sustainable solutions for the future of their communities, families, and children.

The Safe Water Project, located in the northern Nicaraguan communities of Posoltega and San Nicolás, will provide clean water by drilling wells and installing a water supply system. Basic sanitation services will be offered by constructing and improving latrines as well as educating families and local water committees on water hygiene and use. Other activities will include installing a pump system, building a storage tank, and consulting with specialists concerning the design and construction of a micro aqueduct. Approximately 537 families, including nearly 2,700 children, will benefit from this project.

The Access to Quality Education for Children in Rural Areas Project will contribute to the improvement of Nicaragua’s educational infrastructure and to the training of parents as to the necessity of school for children. Partnering with the national Ministry of Education and local communities, World Vision will help to update existing school facilities, construct a new vocational center, furnish books, materials, and audiovisual equipment to schools, and train teachers and instructors. Parents will participate in the planning and organizing of vocational instruction. Located in the towns of San Marcos, Masaya, and Posoltega, this project will help 6,361 children and more than 1,100 parents.
