Charity & Community Work — Spanish School Nicaragua
Small actions, big impact. Help us feed families, support children with disabilities, and bring opportunities to Estelí.
Make a real difference today
Just $200 feeds ~100 workers at the landfill. Any amount helps.
Feeding Families at the Estelí Landfill
Nine kilometers outside Estelí, more than 100 people scavenge every day at the landfill. Many families, including children, rely on what they find. Spanish School Nicaragua prepares and delivers a nutritious lunch as often as our budget allows.
- Students help buy food, cook, pack and deliver meals.
- Cost to feed ~100 workers: $200.
- We invite all visitors to join the cooking and distribution.
“A student returned years later just to feed the scavenger families again—the experience changed his life.”
Supporting Disabled & Vulnerable Children
We support children and families dealing with illness, disability, or the loss of parents. We deliver groceries, school supplies, clothing and help arrange medical visits when possible.

- Crystel & her sister — lost their mother; their father can no longer work. We provide school supplies and groceries.
- Gendaling — received specialist care arranged by a student which improved her condition.
Free English Lessons for Local Children
Local children love meeting visitors and practicing English. Our students frequently volunteer to teach short classes—this is a cultural exchange that builds confidence and broadens horizons.
