Sponsorship
Discover
The key to breaking the cycle of poverty and providing a more hopeful future for a Nicaraguan student is their ability to obtain an education from quality teachers in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment. When an individual sponsors a student they are allowing the student an opportunity to increase their sense of dignity and worth as well as grow in their relationship with God. The NRN Sponsorship program strives to do this through a comprehensive approach to meeting the educational, spiritual, physical, and psychological needs of students from preschool through college and students with special needs.
