In 2008, a group of volunteers sharing a passion for the people of Nicaragua founded UNIDOS Nicaragua, a non-profit organization.
Our biggest ongoing work is the support of Colegio Cristiano Havila, a private school in Los Cedros, Nicaragua. Havila was founded in 2005 with the mission of providing education and encouragement to the poorest of the poor. Nicaragua has an extensive public school system, but a typical household income is about $7,000 per year – much less in rural communities like Los Cedros – and even the modest financial requirements of school uniforms and basic school supplies are beyond the reach of many families.
Havila was founded to give those families access to a quality education for their children.
