in Nicaragua.
SOSTENICA's
investors and donors provide funds that allow our partner organization,

SOSTENICA
is committed to sustainability. Our collaborative work with
CEPRODEL integrates environmental and educational projects
with financial services, creating a more holistic and long-term
approach to the alleviation of poverty.
We are currently working
on a reforestation project in Nagarote, Nicaragua. Micro-credit
alone cannot create a secure future if the natural resources
available to small farmers disappear. This project strives
to preserve the sources of fresh water, augment species
diversity on individual farms, and create a long-term financial
development plan for each farm by offering "credit" in the
form of trees to current CEPRODEL clients.
