Holiday and End of Year Appeal

Dear Friends,

This holiday season, please consider supporting Compas de Nicaragua.  Honor your loved ones by donating on their behalf and we will send them a special card and for donations of $100 or more, we will send a pound of Howling Monkey Coffee.  Your support provides education opportunities and sustainable income to women and farmers, and helps promote food sovereignty, community health, and protection of the environment.    

Compas continues to provide microloans, education sponsorships and income generating programs.  Education sponsorships support children and youth by covering their education expenses. Microloans for Women in Action members allow them to start, sustain and grow small businesses.  Loans to small farmers allow them to grow healthy food and diversify their farms.

At the Peaceful Nature Wildlife Reserve, we provide workshops to children, students and farmers about ecosystem protection, biodiversity and agroecology, a farming method which works with nature instead of against it.  At the Women in Action Center, women are making crafts, natural soaps and candles, organic soy milk and natural grain cereals which are sold at weekend craft fairs. 

Here is how you can help
