ProNica was begun by SEYM at St. Petersburg Monthly Meeting and provides services in Nicaragua. These services include housing, counseling, and medical care. There are opportunities for volunteers to contribute services incountry. It is widely supported throughout SEYM.

ProNica’s Mission is to build cross-cultural sustainable relationships between the peoples of Nicaragua and North America based on Quaker values. ProNica’s Vision is to provide solidarity that empowers and educates Nicaraguans and North Americans.

The ProNica projects hold promise for grassroots growth, arise from Nicaraguan needs and tradition, and provide not only survival but also empowerment. We educate those who seek information or wish to serve.

Our partner projects are community-initiated and focus on the health, harmony and well-being of individuals as well as the community as a whole, addressing not only urgent needs but the roots of social injustice. The programs empower the most disadvantaged members of our human family, fostering economic, social and ecological sustainability.
