RAKlife Nicaragua Experience

Our Nicaragua playground project is now complete! See the video below to learn about what the new playground means to this small community and hear right from our volunteers about their experience in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua! 

A big thanks to Shannon from Hoo Films for joining us to volunteer and document our journey in Nicaragua.

Such a fun experience when this family invited us in their home for dinner.

This is William, RAKlife's first micro-lending recipient! William received a $600 loan to be repaid over the next 12 months to give him an opportunity to establish his business- A small shop selling specialty beauty care products to the local residents of San Juan del Sur. The loan is 0% interest meaning RAKlife isn't making a profit. This new micro-lending program was set up by our good friend Alex Cashman.
