Since 2008, Villa Esperanza (Which means Village of Hope) has been a holistic safe haven for girls rescued from abuse, neglect and trafficking in some of the poorest areas of Managua, Nicaragua. Since then, the Villa has grown to support over 17,000 people through crisis support, vocational and spiritual training, and educational support.
Many parents in the communities we serve have recently lost their jobs because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Villa needs your help to carry these families through this hard time.
Your monthly support will sustain the holistic ministry of Villa Esperanza, giving them a reliable foundation to transform the lives of thousands more children and families, even in the midst of a pandemic. Even just $25 a month will make a difference for the vulnerable of Nicaragua.

In Nicaragua, the repeated cycle of poverty is propelled by a one-in-three teen pregnancy rate, extremely high drop-out rates in school, and a desperate need for the Gospel to be shared openly and fervently. All five of the programs run through Villa Esperanza were created to directly target these root causes of poverty in Nicaragua in a holistic and Christ-centered way.
