The mission of Amigos for Christ is to serve the Lord by serving His poor.
HEALTH: (a) preventative care: through modeling the behaviors of the healthiest families in each community, we create a plan for family hygiene that will decrease the instances of preventable illness such as kidney disease, anemia, and respiratory disease; (b) restorative care: working alongside the Nicaraguan Ministry of Health, we support the existing infrastructure to increase access to medical attention and prescribed medicines for the undeserved; (c) surgical care: working alongside the Nicaraguan Ministry of Health and local hospitals, we provide surgical services to those who are suffering and have no alternatives.
PROGRAM SUPPORT & LEADERSHIP: AFC-NICA owns, operates, and maintains a mission complex in Nicaragua to house visiting mission trip participants, with a goal to host 2,000 visitors every year. This complex is our Nicaraguan headquarters which includes office space, warehouses, and a fleet of vehicles, all of which are necessary to support our daily operations. In the communities we serve, our goal is for communities to lead, own, and operate every project. LEADERSHIP: Developing community leaders to change their own community is at the very core of what we do. We bring leaders together to share ideas, learn strategies, and to inspire hope in the future of their community.
EDUCATION & NUTRITION: Working alongside the community and the Nicaraguan Ministry of Education, we create an infrastructure to increase the percentage of children who complete primary and secondary school. We achieve this by building schools and cafeterias, offering scholarships, and encouraging extracurricular activities, such as after-school and theater programs.
