OMETEPE SUSTAINABILITY GROUP

Our mission is to develop and implement sustainable solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice to children and families on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. Children and families on this double volcano island of Ometepe, now devastated by political unrest and tropical storms, have few resources with which to develop their amazing work ethic and cultural strengths. This project will work in partnership with local communities to sustainably nurture markets that can feed families and can help to educate their children. This group aims to create more pathways to increased prosperity while respecting local cultural values and social institutions... Organic, sustainable, and regenerative agricultural practices are mentored and supported, in turn providing more food and increasing the products vendors can sell. Our goal is to encourage active cooperation and communication between many local initiatives, providing a community support network.
