La Ciudad del Nino La Chureca (The City of the Children of the Garbage) is a community center which got its start in 2004 thanks to a generous donation from a prominent South Florida family (who wishes to remain anonymous.) The gift covered the purchase of land and half the construction and your donations will make the completion and equipping of the remaining buildings possible. We hope you’ll help us make it happen!

The ultimate goal of the La Chureca program is to provide a safe environment where the children who live on the dump can learn skills that will give them a chance to lead productive lives.

Dollars go a lot further in Nicaragua than they do in America. Just $300,000 will complete construction and fully equip the community center.

The completed community center will help 200 children every day! Once operational, it will receive food from the Nicaraguan government and medical services and equipment from Holy Cross Hospital in Florida.
