The Jicaro Project

Offers training, employment and community to the youth and single mothers of Granada’s poorest barrios. Specializing in the design and production of quality artisanal handcrafts, the Project combines sustainable local resources with Nicaragua’s greatest treasure, the hand labor of its people. Proceeds from sales help to support these struggling families and youth, and provide funds for the Vida Joven Youth Clubs in Granada and other community improvement projects. Products are available for sale through the El Puente base shop, local gift shops in Granada, and a growing network of boutiques in the United States. Web purchases may be made through the Ojala! line at Opportunity International.
