Insight Trip: Nicaragua
Chapter: Los Angeles, National
Join us on a life-changing journey to the second poorest country in the Western hemisphere. Because 75% of Nicaraguans live below the poverty line, Opportunity International has implemented a holistic program blending economic development strategies with microfinance to help alleviate poverty. You’ll discover how Opportunity helps provide training and finance for small and medium enterprises in promising local industries like tourism and agriculture. And you’ll see how the Nicaraguan people are working their way out of poverty and creating healthy, vibrant and sustainable communities.
