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.
