Rancho Santana
Project #1
The Roberto Clemente Health Clinic stands alone in this beautiful but impoverished region. With the area’s only SUV emergency vehicle, the clinic provides 24/7 free and affordable healthcare, supplies and innovative wellness programs in the Southwest coastal communities of Nicaragua.
Project #2
FunLimon was established in 2008 as a non-profit based in El Limon, Nicaragua. Through youth and adult education, fitness and sports programs, and local outreach initiatives, we strive to support life-long learning, community engagement, and healthy lifestyles.
Listed on this page are the specific needs requested by the community project(s) so you can choose exactly what to pack for a purpose and express your gratitude to the local community with the supplies you take them. If you prefer, you may reach out directly to them to inquire about items which may be available for purchase locally. Arranging visits to community projects is beyond the scope of our mission. If you wish to visit a project, contact the participant and they can let you know what is possible.
Candy and balloons are not on the needs list as they are harmful for the children and the environment for the following reasons:
• Few of the children benefiting from these projects have access to toothpaste, toothbrushes, or a dentist. The candy promotes cavities.
• The balloons once they become deflated are a choking hazard for local wildlife.
Instead of taking candy or balloons, use that space for additional requested supplies, as they are priceless.
