They are being driven to do anything to get money.
Women prostitute, children beg, teenagers steal, men work at odd jobs and ask for donations.
The desire to work is not a problem. When given half a chance, Nicaraguans are very creative and hard workers. The CDCA has a revolving loan fund for these creative initiatives. With our current contacts though, we mainly loan to farmers to help them improve their farms and to provide them money for planting. We also provide technical and administrative assistance.
