Your monthly giving will sustain the village of hope transforming the lives of thousands living in extreme poverty in Nicaragua.
Since 2008, financial partners like you have impacted thousands of children through Villa Esperanza:
70+
Girls Rescued from Horrendous Situations
More than 50% of these girls have graduated from high school or received technical/vocational training, and nine of them have entered higher education. Best of all, most of them have received the Gospel!
13,897
Students Received Abstinence Education
In Nicaragua, one-in three teenagers have a child before they turn 18 (the highest rate in Latin America). Because of this tragic reality, abstinence education is key to helping teens break free from generational poverty.
57
Local Churches Helped
Through pastoral training, children’s ministry, and construction projects, we’re investing in God’s Kingdom through the local church. Every one of our partner pastors goes through holistic community development training.
Perla's Transformation
Perla lived her childhood in a Nicaraguan garbage dump, but after 10 years of ongoing support from Villa supporters, was able to break free of material poverty and pursue God’s plan for her life. Today she is thriving, has a degree in cosmetology, is working a steady job as a teacher’s aid, and is living in an apartment on her own in Managua.
Holistic transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It takes years of equipping and empowering to help children – and even adults – break free from generational poverty. That’s why our ongoing, holistic programs rely on monthly support, so that month after month, our program directors can provide the consistent resources these children and families need to thrive.
THE MISSION AND VISION OF VILLA ESPERANZA
Children's Outreach
Providing regular discipleship, tutoring, and health check-ups to local primary-school-aged boys and girls at the Villa Esperanza’s Life Skills Center.
Scholar's Program
Unfortunately, many children in Nicaragua don’t go to school simply because their family can’t afford uniforms or bus fares. Our Scholar’s program provides these necessary items, empowering teenagers toward their career aspirations and a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.
Discipleship for Boys
A twice-annual, five-day discipleship camp for boys (as well as monthly one-day retreats) to provide recreational activities and a Christian mentoring atmosphere, teaching them about following God and becoming spiritual leaders in their families and communities.
Villa Girl's Program
Villa Esperanza will continue to be a residential haven for bright, motivated young women coming from extremely difficult circumstances that would prevent them from flourishing. It’s designed to equip and empower young women with potential to be future leaders and influencers in Nicaragua.
Expanding Church Partners
In time, our plan is to replicate these programs throughout Nicaragua where we have established local church partners who can implement them in their own communities. This will enable us to significantly impact thousands upon thousands of at-rick children in Nicaragua!
Abstinence Training Program
One in four girls in Nicaragua become teen mothers, which is often called the “door” to repeated poverty because it most often means dropping out of school. Our training program, Creating Positive Relationships (CPR), teaches the Gospel and the value of abstinence to thousands of teens in the Nicaragua public school system.
