About me

Location	Nicaragua
Introduction	Our work in Nicaragua involves community organization, a flexible approach to needs and priorities as they shift over time, identifying areas where the CDCA can be of service, and following through in those areas, while empowering Nicaraguans and phasing out the need for external assistance. In Nicaragua since 1994, this work has grown into the areas of sustainable economic development (developing long-term jobs so families can feed their own children), sustainable agriculture (so that poor farmers don’t lose their land), primary health care (in the face of privatization of health care), education (both technical training for Nicaraguans, as well as the education of first world volunteers both in the U.S. and in Nicaragua), and appropriate technology (seeking to care for the earth as natural resources are used and introducing work techniques that are maintainable).
