Education is fundamental to all CDCA projects
From public health education, to business management training, to organic agriculture education. The specific focus of our education program, however, is to educate people from the global north about realities in Nicaragua in order to build solidarity for Nicaragua through the creation of shared understanding and support for the Nicaraguan people.
