This month in our Newsletter

We are saddened by the news of the recent death of Exania García of Troilo, Nicaragua. Exania was one of the most accomplished and successful women in our program over the past 15 years. She transformed her family’s lives and served her community with enthusiasm and integrity. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

From Exania in 2024:
“I am so grateful to ViviendasLeón. Without their support, I would never have achieved this transformation in my life and my family’s. Now I have a better quality of life, I earn income from home to support my husband, and I want my daughters to pursue professional training.”
