HUMANITARIAN AID
Our humanitarian aid program actively works to support the most vulnerable every day and during a crisis.
We focus on the immediate delivery of food, first aid equipment, and basic goods to alleviate the effects on the lives of prioritized vulnerable groups such as victims of natural disasters, orphanages, and elderly homes.
DISASTER RELIEF AID
Due to the location of Nicaragua it is particularly prone to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. It also has a history of socioeconomic crises which make the population highly vulnerable. We provide emergency aid (clothes, food, medical supplies, etc.) and implement reconstruction efforts in disaster-stricken communities, and during humanitarian crises.
FEEDING PROGRAM
Our feeding programs contribute to improve the nutrition of vulnerable populations by providing and guaranteeing a daily nutritious meal in each of ANF’s benefited social service centers.
SUPPORT TO ORPHANAGES, ELDERLY HOMES, & SPECIAL-NEEDS CHILDREN
Supporting vulnerable groups with mobility assistive devices, food, medicine, clothes, and therapeutic equipment.
COVID-19 RELIEF RESPONSE
We distribute emergency aid packages that include food and hygiene supplies to vulnerable families for a period of 3 months through our COVID-19 Relief Fund. This program is implemented in partnership with humanitarian assistance organizations which are selected due to their logistical capacity, reliability, and access to vulnerable and under-served communities. The program also aims to educate partner organizations and beneficiaries on measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
HURRICANE RELIEF FUND
After Nicaragua was struck by two category 4 hurricanes, Eta and Iota, in the same area in two weeks, thousands of people have been left with almost nothing. This double tragedy has left thousands of impoverished families without access to shelter, food, drinking water, and other basic necessities, as well as numerous infrastructural damages, overflowing rivers, and flooded communities.
