Chinandega, Nicaragua: Children of the Dumps

  • A successful example and developing model for removing children from a city dump has evolved from Father Marco Dessy, an Italian missionary who has spent the past ten years trying to alleviate this problem from the city dump in Chinandega, Nicaragua. For the purpose of this website, successfully removing a child from a city dump starts with the child's education and nutrition and only ends when the entire community reaches financial independence. This is a complete and total process. The only way to successfully reduce poverty and children at risk is through education leading to financial sustainability. Without reaching this goal, charity and dependence on others never ends. read more here: www.childrenofthedumps.org/
