The CDCA’s mission is to enable communities to become self-sufficient, sustainable, democratic entities.
Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the Americas and Caribbean. In Nicaragua, we work with communities that live under the burden of poverty to enable them to improve the lives of their people and hopefully shed that burden.
The Center for Development in Central America (CDCA) is a project of the Jubilee House Community, Inc., (JHC), which has 501(c)(3) non-profit status in the U.S. and International Mission status in Nicaragua. The CDCA’s goal is to work in partnership with communities and cooperatives to facilitate empowerment. This enables them to find their own solutions to the problems they identify and connects them with resources to solve their problems. The place of the CDCA’s staff is not to tell others what to do, but to first listen to the needs and then respond as we are able, in conjunction with the communities and cooperatives.
