The people of Nicaragua are in great need. The unemployment rate is normally around 60-70%- and it is impossible to understand how difficult life is for Nicaraguans. The pandemic stopped tourists, visitors and trade, which meant that jobs normally available in the tourism and service industry were scarce and the trickle down effect has impacted a population that already lives in poverty. It might feel overwhelming. but the the people of Nicaragua continue to live in faith and hope, knowing that God provides.
