Nica HOPE opened its doors to the community of the Managua City trash dump in February of 2008,

receiving a flood of students seeking to expand their minds, skills, and opportunities for the future. With children working in the trash to make little more than $2 a day, Nica HOPE programs aim to provide education and job opportunities apart from the trash for these youth.

Sponsor a Child of La Chureca

Give a child from the trash dump community of La Chureca the opportunity to achieve a future apart from the trash. These children work in the trash for less than $2 a day and most do no make it past the 6th grade. For only $1 a day, you can help one of these children get back in school and receive a quality education to build a new life of hope and opportunity.

$30/month sponsorship provides:
School supplies, school uniform, and shoes
Daily school lunch
After-school tutoring
Computer classes and/or vocational skills training
Continual household visits by Nica HOPE team

Nica HOPE is a new outreach of Fabretto Children's Foundation to the communities in and around the Managua City trash dump, offering long-term solutions to entrenched poverty through education and practical skills training. Nica HOPE provides increased opportunities for youth and adults from the communities that currently depend on the trash for income and survival.
