Welcome to ProNica

Chureca brother and sisterProNica provides practical opportunities for service to and in Nicaragua. With offices in St. Petersburg, Florida and Managua, Nicaragua, ProNica raises and supplies funds, equipment and information to established community organizations in Nicaragua.

Our assistance focuses on community and economic development, sustainable agriculture, health, education, training in non-violent resolution of conflicts, and women’s empowerment.

ProNica develops partnerships in solidarity with the grass-roots groups we assist. ProNica educates North Americans about the history, current conditions and needs of the Nicaraguan people. Quarterly newsletters share news from Nicaragua.

Two-week college delegations, ten-day Friends Witness Tours, six-month individual volunteers learn first-hand about Nicaragua during their stays coordinated by ProNica Managua Coordinator. Individual donors provide the bulk of funds to support ProNica’s Nicaraguan Project Partners. Organizations, small groups, foundations, and former delegations contribute in many ways. For ideas, contact the stateside office.

Promoting Quaker values of Service, Peace, Integrity, Community and Equality, ProNica, Inc. is under the spiritual care of Southeastern Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.
