A Partnership for Hope in Nicaragua
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.
Projects and activities in Nicaragua are displayed in the form of Blog postings that provide readers information on how the Foundation is bringing hope to people in need. The postings have been categorized into groups based on the type of activity and contain photos, videos and in some cases reports from FUNDACCO on project activities.
Refer to the footer section for a complete listing of current postings. Return often to view more about our history as new postings are added.
In partnership with FUNDACCO and communities throughout the country, we fund and deliver programs that are making a significant difference in the quality of live for the Nicaraguan people.
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.
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.
