Travel to Nicaragua with WCCN!

Join the Wisconsin Coordinating Council on Nicaragua as we visit Nicaraguan organizations that empower communities and improve the quality of life of thousands of people through alternative economic projects. Witness the effect of providing microcredit to small urban and rural producers, cooperatives involved in the fair-trade coffee movement, and organizations working with the urban poor.

Participants will talk with leaders of these organizations and people who participate in or benefit from them.

Our study tours build on 24 years of experience in Nicaragua, and more than 17 years supporting alternative credit organizations and fair-trade cooperatives. The cost of the tour is on a sliding scale, $900-$1200 (plus airfare to/from Managua), depending on what you can afford. Individuals of all backgrounds are welcome!
