Travel to Nicaragua with WCCN!

Join WCCN on our upcoming study tour for an opportunity to see and hear directly from women's groups and leaders in Nicaragua.

The tour entitled Social Change through Alternative Economic Projects: Women's Empowerment and Microcredit in Nicaragua will run from June 14-22, 2008, and will give you the opportunity to exchange ideas with political activists and women's rights organizations, which are working toward gender equality and economic empowerment. The study tour will also visit microcredit and fair trade projects created by women's organizations, which help increase women's income and improve their families' lives. The exchanges will focus on empowering women's through access to credit, land, and equitable markets.

The cost of the study tour is on a sliding scale, $900-$1,200 (plus airfare), depending on what you can afford. All meals, lodging, in-country transportation and interpretation are included. Individuals of all backgrounds are welcome to participate!
