One-third of all Nicaraguan children never enroll in elementary school, fail to attend, or drop out before reaching the sixth grade. The majority of these children drop out in first grade, before they learn the reading and math skills they need to succeed in life. Other risks that threaten the well-being of Nicaragua’s children and youth are malnutrition, teenage pregnancy and early marriages, child trafficking and sexual exploitation, gang involvement and HIV and AIDS.

This month Because We Care Ministries is working through our "Manna Fest" program to ease the problem of malnutrition. Manna Fest is not the cure but it is a stop gap as we continue our daily feeding program to get vitamin enriched meals to the village. Through Manna Fest you can provide enough food to feed a Family of six for a week at a cost of only $10.00. Would you please pray about what GOD would have you and your family do to provide basic food for a family in Nicaragua.
