Right now in Nicaragua, over 1.2 million people experience hunger every single day. Most of them are children.

​

In partnership with over 300 local churches, we are fighting to wipe out hunger, eliminate malnutrition, elevate education performance, and introduce children to the love of Jesus. You can give with confidence knowing that every dollar donated is maximized in programming and outreach to transform children’s lives in Nicaragua.

Stepping onto the plane for her first trip to Nicaragua Windy had no idea what lives she would help change. Nicaragua was new, different and in need. She was attending a serving trip with a group from her church. Once people learned Windy was a pediatric physician, families started bringing their children to her for her assistance. 

Experiencing the need first-hand Windy learned the need of families to provide proper nutrition to their children. Since she was not able to leave all the children starving, Windy sought out a solution – a Nicaraguan medical director to oversee communities, evaluating medical needs and outcomes.

When David and his colleagues rang the opening bell of the NASDAQ Stock Market to celebrate the company’s initial public offering he leaned over to his long-time partner and said, “we are going to help a lot of children in Nicaragua.”

David and Mary (North Carolina) have been investing in the lives children in Nicaragua since 2011. They have incredibly passionate hearts for helping children in the United States and abroad. Through multiple investor trips to Nicaragua, they fell in love with our child transformation model and brought their friends and colleagues onboard.

In 2016, David and Mary’s investment launched ORPHANetwork’s After School Education Program (ASEP) to provide educational reinforcement for the children served in our Local Church Initiatives.
