NICA's Impact
The general objective of any organization is to make a sustainable impact that can be quantified. Our partners, supporter and volunteers need to be assured of the impact their donations and time spent with us is making on the community.
Volunteer and Supporter's Immediate Impact
- Every $25 donated to NICA enables one person to be employed for one month in our Individual Aid Program
- Every week spent in the Volunteer Abroad Program pays for 800 school lunches which encourages more children to stay in school
- Two weeks spent in the Volunteer Abroad Program pays for 1600 school lunches or employs two individuals for three months in the Individual Aid Program
These are programs your support and volunteer participation will immediately impact!
