Casa Canadiense has several strong counterparts in Nicaragua's North.

 In the city of Esteli, one of Nicaragua's most vibrant rural centres, we actively support the work of FUNARTE, a mural painting and popular education organization that advocates for children's rights and the improvement of the quality of education in Nicaragua.

Since 2005, Casa Canadiense has been working with the Indigenous Council of Mozonte, a rural community that holds autonomous title to local land and forests that is located on the border with Honduras.

 Casa also works with the Cooperativa Guardianes del Bosque (or "GARBO" for short), located in the rural community of Penas Blancas, not far from El Cua in the Department of Jinotega. Nestled deep in Nicaragua's central mountains, these men and women have joined together to protect the important eco-system they inhabit as well as ensure that their community can support the economic and basic needs of its inhabitants. They are promoting community-based eco-tourism as an economic alternative that benefits all community members.
