Welcome to Nuevas Esperanzas!  We are a young and professional organisation serving poor communities in Nicaragua through projects which provide practical and technical assistance in support of long-term sustainable development.  

We work in a number of sectors including water, the environment, livelihoods and education following a model of holistic, transformational development which addresses material and spiritual needs in a culturally appropriate manner. We aim to integrate innovation and technical excellence with good practice in development, always mindful of the complex web of economic, environmental, social and spiritual issues which conspire against those living in poverty.

One day to make a difference...

  

How would you like to work for Nuevas Esperanzas in Nicaragua for a day?

You could save a family from walking for four hours to collect water every day...

...or you could save a forest from slash and burn farming...

...or you could save a community from drinking water contaminated by arsenic...  

...or you could save a child from dying from preventable disease.
