 Description


Hundreds call the Managua garbage dump home, living in filth, poverty and hopelessness. The horrors of the 
child sex trade bruise the young girls living in the dump.

With the help of volunteers like you, Forward Edge has built Villa Esperanza, a Village of Hope that provides 
a home for some of the most vulnerable children from the dump.

You will play with children living in the dump and other local orphanages and protection centers, repair homes 
of poverty-stricken families, help build the new Village of Hope, and encourage the elderly in the dump and 
surrounding areas. While in Nicaragua, you will change lives!
