About this organization
Mission
The mission of Nicaphoto is to empower disadvantaged children and their families living in the poorest barrios of Nicaragua, allowing them to reach their full potential, and in doing so, to break the cycle of extreme poverty.
About
Nicaphoto's after school program serves approximately 100 children and young people living in some of the poorest barrios in Nicaragua. The goal of the program is to provide the proper supports to increase school graduation rates. The program is holistic in nature and focused on education, art, and personal development. The program includes academic assistance and reinforcement; a youth run, bio-intensive organic garden; a healthy hot lunch (as hunger and malnutrition are common issues amongst our children); sports, chorus, photography; and dance; girls and boys groups run by a staff psychologist; a partnership with Level Up Village provides S.T.E.A.M. based classes connecting with USA students. Robotics classes continue in connection with the Community Bots, a non-profit organization focused on exposing preteen girls to STEM programs and careers.
