Through community partnerships, Project Schoolhouse builds schools and water systems in rural Nicaraguan communities. We believe that education is essential to strengthening the inherent value of every community. We believe that every child has a right to a good education, that every community has a right to clean water , and that schools can be a foundation for a stronger, more vital and sustainable future for the whole community. We believe that together we will be a force for creating opportunities for productive collaboration and better lives. OUR VALUES Respect for local culture, community, and people Collaboration with and within community (ours and theirs) Innovation in school design, water and learning systems Focus on the few things we can do best with the biggest impact Catalyst, motivating others to help themselves Sustainability through education and facilitation for maintaining and maximizing long-term impact
