Success story:

RAISING FARM ANIMALS IN NICARAGUA Maria del Socorro’s eyes sparkle with enthusiasm as she talks about the newest additions to her household in San Francisco Libre, Nicaragua: a pig and several chickens.

She received the animals through our partnership with the Council of Protestant Churches (CEPAD) of Nicaragua, where we work with farming families in the region to develop techniques to improve their lives.

Maria’s pig is growing fast and becoming more marketable by the month. Soon, she will sell it and make a tidy profit. Meanwhile, her chickens are regularly producing eggs and giving the family a sustainable source of protein for breakfast.

Maria is proud of what she’s accomplished—and we are proud to share her success story with you!
