Organization: El Porvenir

Grassroots organization committed for 19 years to help the rural poor of Nicaragua uplift themselves starting with water and sanitation projects. Hygiene education and reforestation components are added to create a holistic model of intervention.

El Porvenir has worked for many years in several municipalities of Nicaragua, has a small local office in each, and local personnel. We are well known in these areas and communities readily find us to ask for financing for projects, and for follow up. El Porvenir does not initiate projects, the communities come to us to request a project. The community provides the labour for the projects, El Porvenir provides the materials and technical guidance.
