The work of Terre des Hommes in nicaragua

Present in Nicaragua since 1999.
In Nicaragua, school attendance is the lowest in Latin America: six and a half years. The crisis of 2018 caused a dramatic increase in the number of unemployed and damaged the already precarious education system in the country. The pandemic and the passage of devastating hurricanes have caused further problems for schools and increased the number of people in need of humanitarian and educational assistance.
We organize training courses and professional development to improve the skills of the unemployed and support them in finding employment. We carry out educational, sports, and cultural activities for children and regularly provide schools and students with the necessary educational materials. We promote peer education on topics such as gender equality, early pregnancies, and youth participation.
