Our Current Mission
WCRF is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children learn skills to help foster a better way of life in the future. Geographically, our recent focus has been in northern Nicaragua in the village of La Calle Real east of Malpasillio where over 90% of the people live in extreme poverty. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in all of Central and South America. In La Calle Real most people live and support their families as subsistence farmers. After generations of division, family land has been divided into tiny plots that can barely produce enough corn and beans to last between three and nine months. To supplement their income, people work as day laborers, or seasonally migrate to work on sugar and coffee plantations (see more on economic and living conditions in the area).Our Goal
Our goal is to help the people improve their living conditions through improved infrastructure, and other aid to enable and teach self-sustainable skills that can be perpetuated in the community. In building this base of self-sustainability, we are delivering the following:- Medical and Dental Care
- Water and other infrastructure projects
- Education and basic primary and secondary school supplies
- Economic self-sustainability projects
- Enrichment activities in sports, art, crafts, dance and music
