The Purpose of this organisation is : This is a civilian non profit organization, which is actively involved with social developing projects, regarding all the different fronts that a community might need for an integral growth. Our mission is to promote, drive, and conduct, to channel through, and to execute, projects aiming to personal and communal success, strengthening the bonds in society through the family, democracy, fortifying the environment and an auto sustainable development. We have built several barrios in the outskirt of the city of Leon, facilitating to buy this piece of land to people in great need, focusing on single mothers, or widows, or low income families, and to make these projects integral, we have to think in building schools, health centers, communal house for different uses, such as preschools, dinning-rooms for the infants and children, immunizations journeys etc. Beyond this we have to think of recreational projects to carry out, provide each head family with technical skills in different camps to make their own business, also teaching the good use of the land, planting fruit trees for shadow and reforesting this arid land, and vegetable patch in the back yard, so they can either use them for their nourishment, or sell the Vegetables and fruits in the market, provided them with an extra income. Through these different programs we are looking forward to respond to the new social model that Nicaragua needs, being actively involved in the development of a more just society. Along with this we also facilitate small loans directed to small business, principally own by women, and by doing so, contributing to create an economy. We work directly with the most vulnerable people in the department of Leon. We have succeeded in building five neighbourhoods and we have in project several more to build.
