Heavy Rains in Central Nicaragua

In August 2023, low pressure systems off both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts caused heavy rains and flooding throughout Nicaragua. Moderate to strong winds resulted in fallen trees in urban areas, and the increased rain has caused rivers to overflow. Families who live close to the rivers have been evacuated. To date, 38 participants have been impacted. The Child Development Center (CDC) took immediate action and has been in direct contact with the affected families. The Compassion Nicaragua National Office is closely monitoring the situation and is actively evaluating how to best assist the affected families.

Please pray for the flood waters to recede and for continued protection of the families in Nicaragua.
