The community of Kaulapa has graduated

In 2022, the community transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Because of the dedication and partnership of sponsors like you, local people and organizations have been equipped to continue leading the community’s development – and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Kaulapa has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context
The Kaulapa community is located about 110 kilometres from Nicaragua's capital city, Managua. Average monthly temperatures are highest in April and May, just at the end of the dry season and beginning of the rainy season. It's cooler in December and January, usually between 19°C and 25°C. The majority of households in Kaulapa don't have electricity, and in some rural areas, there is no garbage collection, so people have to burn or bury their trash. Most people here raise animals, farm, or work as day labourers on other farms to make a living....
