Education
| Public Libraries
This program was created to suplement current public education efforts. We plan to build two public libraries. One library will be built in Bilwi and a second public library in Bluefields. There are no public libraries in any of the two cities. However, Bluefields had a public library that was distroyed by hurricane Joan in 1988. A public library will benefit over 50,000 people each year in each city.
