The Need

Verbo-Nicaragua Development Fund (VNDF)

Creating growth, bringing hope to hard places

The Need

Less than a two-hour flight from Miami, Florida is another world - a country called Nicaragua of great hope and heartache.  Consider that:

- Nicaragua is the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (only Haiti is more poor)

- The rate of under- and unemployment is 70%

- The average working Nicaraguan earns $2/day

The Vision
To equip impoverished Nicaraguans with the tools,

opportunities and encouragement they need to

care for themselves, create a better life for their

family and contribute to the restoration of Nicaragua.

The Mission
To directly address the cultural and economic root

causes of poverty in Nicaragua by developing

a network of effective partnerships for Verbo Ministries

with the goal of alleviating the conditions created by

poverty and helping Nicaraguans break the cycle

of intergenerational transmission of poverty (ITP)

into which they were born..

"Let us join hands to give every human being

a fair chance to unleash their energy and creativity."
