Save Nicaragua's 'La Mariposa'
Tax deductible
La Mariposa is a Spanish school & eco-hotel in San Juan de La Concepción, Nicaragua. It’s not a traditional business; it’s not run for personal profit.
All profits from the school and hotel support a constellation of projects provided to the community free of charge: physical therapy for children with disabilities (a project known as "Chispa de Vida", or "Spark of Life,") English language learning and enrichment programs for poor families, protection of local open space, animal rescue and much more.
Nicaragua has suffered political challenges in recent months, and tourism has completely dropped off. As a result, the Mariposa team is having trouble funding its vital programming. That’s where we come in!
A donation of $12.50 will ensure that 25 disabled children receive one nutritious lunch after their weekly equine-assisted physical therapy.
A donation of $20 will feed one of La Mariposa's 79 rescued dogs for one month.
A donation of $50 will pay the monthly wages of two physical therapists who provide hydrotherapy to disabled children once weekly.
A donation of $100 will pay the weekly wages for four English teachers who provide free language classes to poor children once weekly.
A donation of $500 will cover the weekly costs of the Chispa de Vida program, including the employees' salaries, the children's transportation, and assistance with medical costs for the 38 program participants.
Aside from donating, the best way to support the Mariposa is to visit. Director Paulette Goudge's primary goal is to provide sustainable employment for her community, and the Mariposa is open for visitors.

Note: This fundraiser is done in direct coordination with La Mariposa. You'll notice the Mas Mariposas NGO is based in Colorado; donations will benefit the projects in Nicaragua via the USA-based fundraising arm of La Mariposa.
Thank you in advance from La Mariposa.
