In Leon, Nicaragua - there is a special needs children's home near and dear to our hearts called Jesus Centered Ministries, or JCM Nica.

Why Solar Power is important and a blessing:

In a nutshell: Power is expensive and unreliable, major problems for a growing children's home providing specialized care for children. Oftentimes using medical equipment that needs power. Currently, when the power intermittently goes out, the home has to grab generators until the power comes back on. Nicaragua is sunny for much of the year, and a perfect candidate for solar power.

The JCM Nica home is safe haven for families across Nicaragua (and central america) to find medical help and care for their children in need. Just a mom & pop operation for the past 22 years, they've grown and in 2015 started construction to move from their 3 bedroom 2 bath home into a much larger 11 bedroom, 6 bathroom home. For seven years they worked on the new home, and in March 2022, the Give30A community came alongside JCM to finally complete the home and throw a big, beautiful, welcome celebration for them.

Working primarily with special needs and abandoned children with physical and mental challenges due to birth defects and anomalies - the home is continuing to expand their care with the new space, and it's more important now than ever that they have access to consistent, sustainable power to care for the children and power any medical equipment they need. Not to mention, help them save hundreds of dollars each month on power bills - precious coin that can be re-invested into medical care and sustainability.
