A year of progress

As 2019 draws to a close, we thought we would share with you some of the things that have been achieved amongst the poor of Nicaragua thanks to your generosity. Students have been sponsored to go to school, patients have received medical treatment, children have been cared for at a loving home, and victims of the sex trade have received psychological support and a fresh start in life.

A vital health service

No two days are ever the same for Dr Sandra and our team of nurses as they provide healthcare for people living on the island of Ometepe. Whether it’s giving consultations, prescribing medicines or helping their patients live healthier lives, they’re always busy. In this edition of the Insight we look at the work of our nursing team, what motivates them and how you can help them to continue providing healthcare to the people of Ometepe. We also say goodbye to two members of SIFT’s team, Colin Weaver and Ali Wilson, and look back at some recent fundraising events.
