Colegio Amparo is the name of our school serving students from kindergarten to secondary school in the village of Mango and neighbouring communities along the Kurinwas River in Nicaragua. The school is dedicated to making a positive impact on this area by ensuring that every student receives a full and complete education.
Road to Mango
Join the effort and walk-for-a-cause to provide access to education in Nicaragua. In a country where we take going to school for granted, it's easy to forget that many people in the world do not have access to education. Through our school, Amparo International is providing access to vital education for hundreds of students looking for a way out of poverty.
