Our Goal: Reduce the housing deficit in Nicaragua, to increase the standards of living, prevent diseases, increase school and job attendance rates, and to reduce vulnerability to natural disasters.
Our housing program works not only to close the housing gap in Nicaragua, but to provide families with a stable source of equity who otherwise would have nothing to call their own.
