Strong Winds in Nicaragua

On December 19, 2023, strong wind gusts caused several signs to fall damaging some homes in Nicaragua. To date, 5 participants and one Child Development Center (CDC) have been impacted. Along with the strong winds, low temperatures and some precipitation are expected to arrive in the Northern Caribbean regions, Southern Caribbean regions and the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The National Office of Nicaragua is monitoring the situation and is providing support and follow up to the impacted participants and CDC. They were able to provide a food kit and a relief shelter kit to those impacted. The CDC continues to follow up with the participants and their families.

Please pray for protection of any further damage to the regions impacted by the strong winds, cold weather and precipitation. Please pray for the impacted participants and their families as they recover and repair their homes.

As of February 2024, Nicaragua continues to experience heat, low temperatures and strong winds. To date, 11 participants and two Child Development Centers (CDCs) have been impacted. The CDCs are evaluating the situation to prepare and provide support to participants and their families. The CDCs programs have continued as normal. The Compassion National Office of Nicaragua provided food kits including rice, beans, cooking oil, sugar, milk, cookies, oatmeal, cornflakes, spaghetti, juice, coffee, tuna, toothpaste and toilet paper and relief shelter kits including a sponge pad, black plastic and mosquito nets.

Please continue to pray for the CDCs, participants and their families as they are recovering from damages to their homes. Please pray for them as they continue to gather for regular programming that the love of God and for one another will continue to increase and spread!
