Casa Canadiense Community Development Centre

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Casa Canadiense (“Canada House”) is a Canada-Nicaragua partnership to support community development initiatives in Nicaragua. It is an entirely volunteer-run organization, with a centre and four staff in Managua, Nicaragua and a governing board and countless volunteers mainly based in Toronto, ON, Canada. It exists to educate Canadians on world issues, through the microcosm of Nicaragua. Several high school groups a year are able to take a trip to Nicaragua in order to experience life in one of our Nicaraguan partner communities and better understand the hardships and joys of life in Nicaragua, the obstacles the country faces, the people that are its future and also explore wealth, poverty and inequality in a global and cross-cultural context. Casa Canadiense also supports grassroots community development projects that are devised and overseen by local community leaders. These projects most often have an educational focus.
