ORPHANetwork partners with the local Nicaraguan church to break cycles of poverty. Together, we RESCUE vulnerable, impoverished and at-risk children, PREVENT children from becoming social orphans, CREATE opportunities for new life and SHARE Christ with everyone. In partnership with the local Nicaraguan church, ORPHANetwork encourages and enables those with a voice to speak up on behalf of fringe, forgotten and fragile children so they can experience a transformed life through life-saving and life-changing developmental, relational and experiential interventions. As children and youth come to know the grace, mercy and love of Jesus Christ and the impact of hands-up programming, they are able to successfully navigate a journey of transition, transformation and thriving within their context. The core of the ORPHANetwork development model is the steady availability of nutritious food to address malnutrition. By focusing on creating a healthy physical foundation and growing a strong spiritual identity
