What We Do

The humanitarian crisis in Nicaragua has reached unprecedented levels, with one-third of the population needing basic assistance to survive. The combined human, socioeconomic, and political challenges put progress at serious risk. With food insecurity on the rise, we urgently need support to address these challenges and continue moving toward our goals. Collaboration from everyone is essential to protect and build on the progress made so far.

More than half of the world’s population suffers from some form of malnutrition, which claims the lives of ten children every minute. Malnutrition impacts every aspect of a child’s development, weakening physical and cognitive abilities, hindering societal growth, and perpetuating cycles of poverty.

HTHF supports children whose health is at risk, particularly during critical stages of growth, by monitoring nutrition and weight indicators. We also provide partial support to nurseries and medical dispensaries affiliated with the Franciscan community in the Diocese of Matagalpa.

There are many ways to become a sponsor, or you can choose to support a cause that touches your heart. Our sponsorship program is currently being evaluated for peripheral neighborhoods of Matagalpa. We have identified specific areas where immediate support can make a real difference in the lives of those living in poverty and help ease their suffering.

HTHF is entirely funded by generous supporters like you—we cannot do this work alone. Experience the joy of giving without expecting anything in return. There is no greater reward than helping a fellow human being in desperate need.
