Personal development

‘To empower our children, their parents and the communities they live in to build a healthy and hopeful future for Nicaragua’‘
(Our mission)

Help for children ...

Mpowering People mentors, teachers and homework coaches assist the children create a personal development plan that helps them to articulate their dreams, but also to map out the steps for a concrete goal they want to accomplish this school year.

... and their parents

Our mentors also help parents put together their own personal development plan; they learn to realise their aspirations and to coach their children to achieve theirs. Started in 2009, this new initiative is already helping shift the pervasive sense of resignation to one of self-help and responsibility.

Self-esteem and responsibility

Mpowering People initiatives help our pupils and their parents overcome their lack of self-esteem, see the future as an opportunity for personal fulfillment and become productive members of their communities.
