Thinking of our many loved ones in Nicaragua and strategizing how to ensure that our local programs have the greatest impact on those in need. Our rural medical project is ramping up again and we are going to need more support than ever before. While our volunteer retreats won’t be hosted in Nicaragua this year, we will be offering a different experience (el Salvador? Ecuador, anyone?) and will redirect the proceeds from that trip back to Nicaragua. Contact us to get on our wait list for retreat information.

Thank you to @all_womankind & @wolf_circus. A % of proceeds from this limited run necklace (featuring the iconic femme fist) will support our women’s healthcare clinics in marginalized areas of #Nicaragua #🇳🇮 ❤️ #thelatitudeproject #giveback #giftsthatgive #sosnicaragua
good MOOrning. Despite the current social/political unrest, we are working hard to secure more funding to continue to offer medical care to the most margenalized communities in Nicaragua. While our volunteer trips to the country will be on hold until we can guarantee a safe experience for our guests, we are considering offering similar trips in Ecuador with funds supporting Nicaragua. Please contact us if you might be interested in joining or making a donation to support these efforts. Xx 📸:alanna_tynan #thelatitudeproject #traveldeeper
Amidst chaos in a country we love, we are immensely grateful to have been given a platform to gain more awareness and support for the projects that we do. This weekend, we honoured friend and Board Member @elizabetholsenofficial with the EMA Futures Award. Despite dropping her award and fumbling a few words in our speech, the night was a huge success and we cannot be more grateful to have been part of it. (Our selfie with Snoop Dogg was the cherry on top 🙊😍) #thelatitudeproject
Our priorities have never been rooted in power or politics, but in people. In our equality,  our sameness, in justice and in basic human rights. Our purpose has always been to bring a voice to those who are not heard, to empower people to create their own change. We have remained non-political over the last near-decade of working in Nicaragua but the current situation has left us no choice but to speak up for the people we have come to know and love… many who we even consider our family. • Over the last two months, the Nicaraguan people have been peacefully protesting to have their voices heard. They are coming together to fight for social justice, to take a stand against the Ortega regime. In the last few weeks, things have escalated drastically as the government is meeting these protesters (mainly University students) with violence and repression. • As our friends at @MaderasVillage have said, “Over these last few weeks the current political unrest in Nicaragua has become increasingly unpredictable as the government has intensified it’s repressive tactics, violently targeting people peacefully protesting against the Ortega regime. The people are demanding a) justice for the unlawful killings of peaceful protesters, b) early elections and c) democratic reforms across the board. Their only goal is to return power to the people of Nicaragua through peaceful and democratic measures.” • In this time, the people of Nicaragua need us most. They need to know their voices are being heard, that they are not being forgotten by the rest of the world. This brave country is standing together for change, and we stand with them. • We are working closely with our local Operations team to assess the best and most effective ways to provide relief in this urgent time. If you want to support the people of Nicaragua in their fight for justice, please donate at the link in profile or contact us for more information. #thelatitudeproject #sosnicaragua #nicaragua
We empower communities with the resources, tools, and support they need to build their own solutions. By taking the time to listen, we approach global change through local projects that are as diverse, creative and innovative as the people we work with. #thelatitudeproject #thisishowwedo 📷:@tylerroemer
Before every new project, we take time to build relationships. We get to know people, ask questions about what is important in their lives and how they interpret the world around them. The answers to these questions always teach us something and they guide which unique projects are built and how we go about building them, together. How could we ever know without asking? Regardless of whether it’s your next door neighbour or a stranger from another country, take time to ask questions that show you really care. ❤️#thelatitudeproject #traveldeeper📷:@reallykindofamazing
