NICARAGUA

One of the poorest

Nations of the

Western Hemisphere

Nicaragua, the largest country in Central America, is adjacent to El Salvador & Honduras to the north & Costa Rica on the south, & situated between the Caribbean & Pacific Ocean.

Nicaragua: population 5,570,129 (July 2006 est.) Distribution of income is one of the most unequal on the globe. GDP annual growth has been far too low to meet the country's needs, forcing the country to rely on international economic assistance. WORLD FACT BOOK

We are volunteers & not financially sponsored by an organization. Our mission trips are made possible by our own fundraising, by supporters & friends, volunteers and donated goods from ‘Family Outreach Program’, 'Family Missions', & 'Cheer Up Missions'. Medical equipment & shipping costs are donated by "International Hospital for Children".

It seems like there is an almost endless need among the populace for wheelchairs. It's not that there are an exceptional amount of sick or injured people it's mostly that for the average person it's an expensive item & difficult to get.

cerebral palsy, his dream is to

be a lawyer - Masaya

wheelchair for her daughter that

has cerebral palsy - Boaco

Specialized wheelchairs for children are very expensive, even here in the U.S, they can cost thousands of dollars. So you can imagine how great a gift one of these is for the child of a poor family.

It is extremely difficult, if not nearly impossible, for a poor person to obtain a wheelchair. Many people end up needing a wheelchair due to poor or no medical care.

a fall from a bus in the

market place - Masaya

acute athritis & is unable

to walk - Masaya

We can never bring enough wheelchairs, there's always someone more that needs one. We wish we could bring one for every needy person.
