Description
Project Chacocente is a Christian social justice effort that has moved ten families from living at the huge dump in Managua to fertile farmland in rural Nicaragua. The goal is to transform their lives physically, spiritually, and socially, and to give a better future to generations to come. The people have committed to a five-year plan to be educated; build a house; learn to farm, sef-govern and problem solve; and to start a small business. The families aim to be self-sufficient at the end of the 5 year period. If they comply with all of their committments, they will receive their house and 2 acres of land.
