Dear Project Schoolhouse Family,
As we look back on the incredible progress of 2025, we are also standing on the threshold of a monumental milestone: Project Schoolhouse is entering its 20th year of work. Two decades ago, we began with a simple belief: that every child, regardless of how remote their village, deserves a safe place to learn and clean water to drink. What started as a single project has grown into a movement of “believers”— a global network of donors like you, working hand-in-hand with the most resilient communities in rural Nicaragua.
Your support this past year allowed us to accelerate our pace and deepen our impact in ways we once only dreamed of.
- The Ponsoña Powerhouse: We completed Phase 1 of our most ambitious water project to date. By tapping a single water source, we brought clean water to four communities.
- The After-School Evolution: We continued our After-School Clubs which show that, by providing targeted tutoring and mentorship, we aren’t just building classrooms, we are ensuring the students have the support they need to succeed.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Our 20th anniversary isn’t just a time to look back; it’s a launchpad. We have a multi-year long wait list of communities ready to pick up their shovels. They have the will; they just need the resources.
Thank you for being part of this 20-year journey. Whether you’ve been with us since the first project, or joined us this year, you are the reason these communities are rising.
Our progress:
With deep gratitude and excitement for the years ahead.
Selina
Executive Director
