MPI Nicaragua Programs

At MPIN, all of our programs are based around the relationships that we have built in the communities where we work. We aim for a holistic approach to community development, working with people of all ages in various aspects of their lives, including education, health, recreation, and the arts. We also strive to work alongside other organizations who focus on the same communities in order to expand our influence and effectiveness. The extent of MPIN´s involvement in each partner program varies, as does the type of involvement, including funding, manpower and/or organizational input. These Partner Programs are invaluable to MPI´s mission as they further foster communities working together to serve communities.
