Proyecto CocoMango

Proyecto CocoMango is a grassroots community organization with a mission to expand educational and artistic opportunities, protect the environment, and develop social and economic resources for Laguna de Apoyo, Nicaragua, and neighboring communities. CocoMango is run by a community-elected Board, which includes local leaders, as well as expatriates, and has self-assigned community members working in committees for each project branch: education; environment; art; and community development. Several of our main activities include an after-school youth enrichment program, English instruction at the local primary school, adult English classes, an adult literacy program in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, a scholarship program, and a potable water program together with Engineers Without Borders.
