We work in Nicaragua for a continuous period since 1986, although we support Nicaraguan girls, boys and adolescents after the 1972 earthquake in Managua.
Save the Children’s work in Nicaragua centers on four program areas: Education, Health and Nutrition, Child Rights Governance and Child Protection; in addition to having the ability to respond to potential humanitarian situations. All programs in Nicaragua incorporate children’s participation, inclusion, gender equality and resilience and our Every Last Child global campaign as a cross-cutting themes, and prioritize strengthening the capacities of local partner organizations, which include public institutions, non-governmental organizations and civil society networks. Forty six permanent staff members support the implementation of programs between the national office in Managua and our field office in La Dalia, Matagalpa.
