Nicaragua Christian School is a dream conceived by members of the Campbell Street church of Christ while doing mission work in Nicaragua. During these missions, it was learned that many of the children in Nicaragua did not have the chance to attend public schools because their families could not afford the uniforms and school supplies.
The dream was to provide the opportunity for the poorest in the community to be able to not only receive an education, but to receive a Christian education. These children would be taught a normal school curriculum and they would also be taught lessons from the bible every day.
This dream is becoming a reality because individuals like you, churches, Sunday School classes, and other groups are contributing towards the building fund or sponsoring a child. Sponsoring a child is only $25 per month which provides their uniform, school supplies, and a nutritional meal every day. Won't you consider sponsoring one or more children today ? A good Christian education can change not only the life of a child, but the future of a country.
Why build a school in Nicaragua?
School Costs
- Fewer than half the children in Nicaragua attend school.
- The reason… there is no money for uniforms, supplies and tuition.
High Unemployment
- Unemployment is nearing 40%
- Most who are fortunate enough to be employed earn from $30 to $90 per month.
Living Conditions
- Many live in homes with dirt floors, cook over open fires and eat rice and beans almost every meal.
- Many children who attend school are hungry.
