Beginning of the year is a good momemt to look back at the history of the projekt and how it developed. And this year even more, because it's the 25th anniversary of the girls project! 25 years ago in 1999, two young Nicaraguan women decided to support very poor girls that urgently needed help because they lived in great poverty and critical conditions - alcohol, drugs and sexual abuse were frequently present.
In this 25 years the project has changed its modus, was growing and is now smaller again, concentrating on the poorest and a small group of girls that are personally supported. Through all this changes the project became more and more known in Barrio Sandino and Ocotal, the girls and the families know that the doors are open and they could come any time for support and help.
Time is running.. Last year one of the girls finished secondary school successful! A new school year will start in a couple of days, the imatriculation has started. We will continue to help 5 girls with all their necessities to start school again (uniform, shoes, backpack, paper, pencils, books). And this children and youngsters will continue to meet monthly to receive support and have fun. It's 18 years now that we are involved in this project and the girls project was the reason why Nicaragua-Projekt was founded.
