Superemos makes it possible for its supporters to realize their humanitarian vision for a better world.
We have learned from our supporters and funders that they are very conscious of the crucial role social policy plays in the development of a prosperous and healthy society.
Thanks to their guidance and humanitarian inspiration, we are able to improve the lives of families in northern Nicaragua and especially in Estelí, where we are based.
Promoting Development in Disadvantaged Communities
We started in 1999 from the belief that education and training for women and girls is the most effective way to promote development in impoverished communities and countries.
Over the years we have built a successful integral community development model, focusing on low income families in rural communities and outlying urban districts of Estelí.
Every individual, including the most vulnerable, can be a protagonist in the struggle for a more equal society.
The first step to positive change is a feeling of personal value and well being, so our programs focus on helping people feel more confident about themselves and their abilities.
To achieve that, people need ready access to good education and healthcare. Women need violence prevention programs in order to stimulate their personal development, self esteem and assertiveness.
Thanks to the vision of our supporters and funders our programs help local people, especially women, interact more positively and effectively with their families and so, over time, contribute to a more equal and healthy society.
Over the years, we have greatly benefited from the generosity of innumerable individuals and organizations. We would like to acknowledge many who have made large and/or long-standing contributions: the Barr Foundation of Oklahoma, DOT House Health (formerly Dorchester House of Massachusetts), Peter Loewinthan, the Central American Fund for Human Development, Casa Pueblito (formerly Casa Canadiense), Fiona Graham, the Christine King Memorial Trust, the estate of Eileen Sefton, Judy Richardson and the Global Education Fund, Proyectos Sociales Albanisa, Hope Little, Cele and Axel Meyer, the Schooner Foundation, Japan Aid for Nicaragua Association, the First Congregational Church of Evanston, Jonathan Benjamin, Phil Hughes of Linux Journal, David Suliteanu and Kendo Brands, Jay Markley, Phil Russell and the Toronto Leaside Rotary Club, as well as many other private organizations, individuals, and medical brigade supporters.
