More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Children in rural Nicaraguan communities face many obstacles in accessing a consistent and beneficial education restricting community development. In two communities, La Thompson and Chiriza, outside of Esteli in Northern Nicaragua we have established schools for children without access to formal education including formally recognised kindergarten classes. Through these schools children who would otherwise be neglected will receive a fair opportunity to learn and develop.

Activities

In addition to consistent educational support from our project team we will also improve school buildings providing protection from extreme weather, provide basic needs baskets to families and financial assistance for students in secondary education

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: £9,445

Latest Update from the Field

Amazing support for the GVI Charitable Trust

By Ross Deans - GVI Charitable Trust Manager, January 30, 2012 01:02 PM

We would like to share the most recent trustee report from the GVI Charitable Trust. This report covers the six month period from July to December 2011.

We are delighted to share that this has been by far our most successful period, raising in six months nearly as much as we did the whole of the previous year. This increase in funding has brought a corresponding increase in the impact we have been able to create on our programs around the world.

During this period we have invested in sustainable education across Latin America including support for the elderly in Guatemala and income generation schemes to support education in Honduras and Ecuador. In Mexico we have worked with a community to establish a recycling centre and in Kenya our partners in Mombasa will now realise their goal of seeing impoverished students through to completion of the primary education earning recognised qualifications for the first time.

These are just a few highlights of an amazing, productive and rewarding six months. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and played a crucial role in these achievements.
