The curtain is about to open. Please contribute to providing water and lighting to the children of Las Marias center and remember that a little generosity can go a long way!

The Dianova School in Nicaragua is a private institution providing primary and secondary educations to more than 400 students from rural and disadvantaged families every year. The school fees of both commuting and boarding students are entirely financed by scholarships, a practice which helps to prevent dropout. 

Dianova’s seventy-five boarding students live at the Las Marias Holistic Education Center, where they receive all needed support in addition to tuition, including all educational materials, health care, psychological counseling, clothing needs, athletic training, opportunities for sports competition – and more. Both the Las Marias center and the school are licensed by the Nicaraguan government – the center by the Nicaraguan Ministry of the Family and the Dianova primary and secondary school by the Ministry of Education.
