To serve impoverished communities and families in Nicaragua. Our focus is on the families who live in or near the trash dumps near Managua and the family of God. Generations of families have earned their living sifting through others trash to find anything of value surrounded by fire smoke flies stench and filth. We would like to remove all of the children from this environment and break this cycle of poverty through education and training and to give these families the hope they need to build a better life for themselves their neighbors and their families. One of the ways that we work to do this is by raising up local Nicaraguans who want to build the Kingdom of God and serve the poor. We do this through discipleship and mission training schools.

| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| We have 21 children who live outside the trash dump who attend a private school, The Lighthouse Christian Academy as well as numerous children living in Nueva Vida who are able to go to school because we provide uniforms, backpacks, computers, school supplies, shoes and meals. All of the children are tutored to assure they succeed. | $0 | $65,662 |
| We have a prison mission and provide aid in numerous ways for individuals who need short term help. | $0 | $40,430 |
| We built numerous homes in the Nueva Vida trash dump as well as on the Atlantic coast after the hurricane. We replaced homes built of cardboard, plastic and other items from the trash dump with homes built with metal sheeting walls and roof, concrete floors, electricity and in some cases a covered porch for cooking and laundry. The happiness and pride these families experience owning a home that is safe and dry is overwhelming to watch! | $0 | $18,275 |
