Plan has worked in Nicaragua since 1994, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education, protection and economic security. 70% of Nicaragua's population lives in poverty.

We promote children's rights and work to ensure that children, families and communities actively participate in their own development - from identifying problems to implementing solutions.

Today, more than 30,000 children in 6 of the 15 departments of Nicaragua participate in our programmes.
