CEPAD USA

CEPAD USA is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the work of non-profit organizations in Nicaragua with training to improve lives, build sustainable communities and escape poverty.

CEPAD USA's origins belong with CEPAD, the Council of Protestant Churches of Nicaragua. CEPAD was founded in 1972 to help victims of a large earthquake that destroyed the capital city of Managua. CEPAD originally dedicated their work to disaster relief but in the early 2000's began to work in long-term sustainable change.
