Pacific South

To the South of Managua, Casa Canadiense has counterparts in the town of Niquinohomo (Department of Masaya), in rural areas around Mombacho Volcano (between the cities of Granada and Nandaime) and on the Island of Ometepe

Niquinohomo is a small town known as the birthplace of Sandino, Nicaragua's national hero. The Movimiento Comunal of Niquinohomo is Casa's longstanding partner with whom we have built seven community preschool buildings in the rural villages outside the town's centre.

 At the base of Mombacho Volcano, Casa has begun to work with the UCA Tierra y Agua, a union of land cooperatives (formed in the 1980s) who have turned to eco-tourism in order to survive as cooperatives and to improve the economic situation of the locals.

 On the Island of Ometepe, Casa Canadiense has worked with several local organizations including the Balgue community committee and the famous Finca Magdalena, as well as with the local community development institute, Red de Organizaciones Civiles de Ometepe, whose office is located in Moyogalpa, one of the main towns on the island.
