Asociación Compalciht
Improving lives in Nicaragua through education, nutrition, and women’s empowerment since 1997.
Through education, nutrition, and community empowerment, COMPALCIHT (Comité de Proyectos Alcaldía Ciudad Hermana de Tipitapa) has been improving the lives of children, women, and families in Tipitapa, Nicaragua since 1997. What began as a small local effort has grown into a solid, community-driven organization dedicated to fighting poverty and building opportunities for the most vulnerable.
Each day, COMPALCIHT provides nutritious meals to 480 children in its community dining centers, meals that often make the difference between hunger and healthy growth. Through regular visits, the team ensures food quality and adapts menus to meet children’s needs, offering balanced dishes that include oatmeal, pinolillo, pasta, and protein sources like liver and meat.
Beyond nutrition, COMPALCIHT invests in the leadership and training of 96 mothers, teaching food preparation, hygiene, and nutrition practices that strengthen household food security and community well-being. Many of these women have become active leaders, helping replicate positive change across Tipitapa.
Key initiatives include:
- Centro Escolar Gracias a Dios: A safe space that provides education, healthy meals, and daily support for children, helping them learn values and good habits while parents work with peace of mind.
- Centro Social de Enseñanza Agroecológica: A hands-on learning center where children and women grow their own food, promoting sustainable agriculture and food security.
- Community Empowerment through the Mothers’ Network: Training women in leadership, nutrition, and community development so they can become active agents of change.
- Community Learning and Empowerment Center: A new space to train women in leadership, nutrition, agroecology, and communication, paving the way for future community-led initiatives.
Your support helps build healthier, stronger, and more self-reliant communities in Tipitapa.

Un Paso hacia el Futuro: Zapatos Escolares para 260 Niños
En las comunidades rurales y urbanas más vulnerables de Tipitapa, Nicaragua , cientos de niños crecen enfrentando una dura realidad: la pobreza les impide tener una alimentación adecuada y los priva de necesidades básicas como un par de zapatos escolares. En la Asociación COMPALCIHT , alimentamos cada día a más de 480 niños a través de nuestra red de comedores infantiles, garantizando que, al menos, reciban un plato de comida nutritiva al día. Pero hoy queremos ir más allá: ayudarles a caminar hacia la escuela con dignidad y esperanza. Cada niño que apoyamos proviene de familias donde los padres trabajan largas jornadas en el campo por salarios menores al mínimo, y muchas veces ese plato de comida en el comedor es el único del día. Con tu donación, estarás ayudando a cubrir un zapato escolar completo para un niño por tan solo $16.50 dólares.
Nuestro objetivo es recaudar $4,290 USD para entregar 260 pares de zapatos , permitiendo que cada niño asista a clases con orgullo y seguridad. Dona hoy y camina con nosotros hacia un mañana lleno de esperanza.
