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
Nicaraguan 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
NEW: Scholar's Program
Providing teenage boys and girls with necessary items for their education (uniforms, supplies, bus fares, etc.) and regular spiritual discipleship so they can pursue a quality education and a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.
NEW: Discipleship for Boys
A twice-annual, five-day discipleship camp for boys (as well as monthly one-day retreats) to provide vocational training, recreational activities, and a Christian mentoring atmosphere, teaching them life skills and how to become spiritual leaders in their families and communities.
Villa Girl's Program
Providing a residential haven for bright, motivated young women coming from extremely difficult circumstances that would prevent them from flourishing. This exclusive live-in situation is designed to equip and empower young women with the potential to be future leaders and influencers in Nicaragua.
Creating Positive Relationships
A poverty-prevention training program aimed at fighting Latin America’s highest teen pregnancy rate (30% become teen mothers), which many call the “door” to repeated poverty. This program teaches the Gospel and the value of sexual abstinence to thousands of teens in the Nicaragua public school system.
Community Outreach
Visiting Forward Edge mission teams will continue to invest in local schools, churches, and communities with maintenance and construction projects, evangelism and discipleship.
Future Tutoring Program
Plans are being made to begin regular discipleship, tutoring, and health check-ups to local primary school-aged boys and girls at the Villa campus.
