Description

When Hurricane Felix hit the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua in September of 2007, it devastated already hurting towns and villages. Hundreds of people lost their and many are still living in crudely tarped huts in an attempt to stay out of the weather. In addition, water tests have revealed high levels of bacteria and contaminates in their wells.

By partnering with Forward Edge you can help provide shelter and encouragement to these villagers. You will help repair and rebuild their homes and lives! You can also help as we work to drill wells to provide clean water and reduce waterborne illnesses. You can work to improve a local orphanage while spending time with the wonderful children who call the orphanage home. You will impact the lives of the poorest of the poor in Nicaragua.
