Water For Life: Appeal for Nicaragua

Over the last five years we have journeyed with, visited and shared the stories of seven communities in Nicaragua: Aguas Calientes, El Nancital, El Pochotal, Llano Grande, La Concepcion, La Joya and Mercedes del Rancho. As our time supporting these communities draws to a close, we are determined to ensure they have what they need going forward and to encourage supporters to journey with seven new communities over the next five years.

These communities still need: 15 micro dams and seed packages for 28 farmers (benefitting 112 families); seed packages for 35 women to start family gardens, (improving their family’s nutrition and providing an income); training for 21 women to start small businesses making jewelry and handicrafts.

• £150 will pay for the materials for one micro dam

• £65 will provide seed packages for one farmer

• £30 will provide two women with seed packages to create their family gardens

• £20 will provide one women with materials to start her handicraft business.

Please make a one-off donation to the Water For Life appeal or support the next seven communities by becoming a committed giver today.

We walk with a community until it has the skills to walk without us and the people can claim the rights they did not know existed."
