• CONANCA

  The purpose of my club is to raise awareness and support for kids with cancer in Nicaragua that can’t afford the treatment. These kids either have a family that doesn’t have the money to pay the treatments, or have been abandoned by their families. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere, a lot of people live below the poverty line. These kids and their families are counting on CONANCA, which is the organization in Nicaragua that helps them, to save their lives. However, since April 18th 2018 there has been a revolution going on in Nicaragua and the situation is very tough for many organizations like these. CONANCA is not getting the same amount of donations they were getting before, which complicated things a lot when it comes to pay for the treatments. My club is going to have many events where we raise money and donate 100% of the funds to help CONANCA.
