A country in need ...

The children of Nicaragua were born during a civil war that left their country bankrupt. Born into utter poverty. Perhaps orphaned or abandoned during the devastating hurricane. They know all about hardship. They know what it is like to be hungry, to sleep on a dirt floor, to have no hope. They just don't know what it's like to wear shoes, to be clean, to be safe.

Now, years later, hundreds of people from many churches and businesses go to Nicaragua every year to work, to build, to love and to share. In fact, in 1996, it became obvious that we needed an organized way to channel our efforts and gifts. Thus, the Nicaragua Resource Network was born. It was, and still is, an organization of volunteers. We have no staff, no office, no overhead. Early on, we made the commitment that every dollar given for Nicaragua goes to Nicaragua. Our NRN board members from all over central Indiana freely donate their time, money, energy and prayers, making at least one annual missions trip to Nicaragua.

Relationships that last. Commitments that count ...

The mention of Nicaragua brings to mind war, disaster and poverty. Yet, those of us who have made a commitment to Nicaragua see hope, rather than heartache. We have been able to return again and again to this needy country, building and sustaining loving relationships with children, families and pastors. Many of the children we have helped, fed, and educated, now have children of their own. These children's children, this new generation, may be the first to be born in hope rather than despair.

Servants and Partners ...

Our mission is to make a significant impact on the lives of impoverished children and families in Nicaragua by providing for basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter, as well as medical and educational needs. We have done this as servants and partners of Nicaraguan church and community leaders. Each of these leaders has demonstrated tremendous integrity, as well as accountability, in the loving administration of resources channeled through them.
