Our Mission

ViviendasLeon is a non-profit, 501 c 3 U.S. organization and registered NGO in Nicaragua. Our mission is to eliminate poverty by empowering and equipping rural communities to be the agents of their own transformation.

Who We Are

Our Strategy: Rural poverty is the result of multiple interrelated deficits in populations over generations. Based on years of field experience and research, ViviendasLeón invests in rural communities for the long-term, over 4 years, creating deep and lasting impact. Programs occur annually, increasing the scope of trainings each year, resulting in incremental change while building a critical number of self-sufficient families. Our core programs empower rural families to improve their standard of living by addressing the psychological impacts of intergenerational poverty followed by increasing their capacities in areas of food production, economic development, environmental stewardship, resource management, leadership, citizenship and social equality. In 4 years, 20% of families in each community achieve a sustaining level of food security, water security, sanitation, health training and income, while continuing to train new families and establish economic and social stability in their communities. Our global partnership program offers academic institutions the opportunity of field research and training, project development and implementation, while learning transferable skills, intercultural understanding and a commitment to social justice. Our internship and immersion programs offer volunteers the opportunity to work directly in the field with our staff to operate our field programs, and with rural families and their projects to create self-sufficient communities.
