The Roots of Change Foundation is a Catholic non-profit organization which brings hope to the people of Nicaragua through its partner, Fundación Acción Comunitaria (FUNDACCO). Together we are continuing the missionary work of founder Father Denis Hébert.
Our Mission
To practice the teachings of the Encyclical on the Development of Peoples by Pope Paul VI (March 1967).
Since 2005 the Roots of Change Foundation has been funding and delivering programs that have relieved poverty, provided educational opportunities and improved the health and wellness of the Nicaraguan people.

Education
Education is the foundation on which people can build better lives for themselves and their families. The Roots of Change continues to fund programs that create opportunities for people of all ages and in all parts of the country.
Health and Wellness
Access to health care remains difficult for those who cannot afford the cost. In 2008, the Foundation funded the construction of the Clinica San Rafael Arcangel in the barrio of Edgard Lang.
