Our Mission
The path to a world without poverty is based in dignity, environmental stewardship, and strong community values.
SOSTENICA´s collaborative work integrates environmental and educational projects with financial services, creating a holistic and long-term approach to the alleviation of poverty in Nicaragua. Our loan programs are designed to strengthen Nicaraguan communities. We attempt to ensure that Nicaraguan culture and way of life have a sustainable future despite the homogenizing pressures of the integrated global economy. SOSTENICA offers socially conscious investors in the US an opportunity to use their financial resources constructively, to preserve their capital within the parameters of the risks identified in our prospectus, and to earn interest — while at the same time having a positive impact on a struggling developing country’s economy. SOSTENICA affords the productive poor of Nicaragua — small farmers and micro-enterprises — access to credit that would be otherwise unavailable. The combination of thoughtful First World investment and careful socially conscious lending to the poorest creditworthy borrowers of Nicaragua creates an opportunity for sustainable growth.
