AVCi works with local partners on three main projects in Nicaragua.
We support a community center “Elohim” in Managua, which feeds and cares for about 80 street kids every week. Currently we are working on expanding the building which will help to double the size of the center and increase our ability to help more than 150 children every week.
9 years ago, the AVCi founder, Cam Syke, built a medical clinic in El Crucero. It is named the Susie Syke Medical Clinic. The clinic has a doctor every week and a dentist every other week that provide care to local children. We help over 300 kids a month. The El Crucero team also started a feeding program and through our support they feed 250 street children from the area.
AVCi is currently supporting three training sites focused on prevention and education of the risk of human trafficking that is prevalent in the country. Local Pastors provide training in computers and textiles to youth and young women in order to develop skills to support themselves and grow their economy.
