About Nicaragua
To those who may not be familiar with Nicaragua, the country is one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. The combination of years of devastation from natural disasters and political strife has left many Nicaraguans in dire need. Most rural areas lack running water, indoor bathrooms, electricity and paved roads. Additionally, at best, health services are limited, and stable employment is difficult.
Words from our founder: Gloria Davis
I was born in Managua, Nicaragua and I came to the U.S., at a young age. It’s in District of Columbia and Maryland area where I have resided over 40 plus years. My dear mother died in 1997 and her request was to be buried in her birthplace. After being away from Nicaragua for 22 years, I honored my mother request. It was as if I was returning to a foreign land. Consequently, I was grieving the death of my mom and at the same time, grieving the poverty that was in my face. My heart and spirit was troubled. I came back to the U.S., and I am ashamed to say I made no effort to do anything. I made another trip to Nicaragua in 2006, and I realized that I could do something to help the people.
I tried venturing out on my own to start a non-profit organization, needless to say it failed. I couldn’t get any help or capital for the project. As I got closer to the creator, the vision resurfaced and this time I knew I had the backing of the creator. So here I am in 2020 trusting in the Lord and with His guidance and blessing, I founded the Nicaraguan Agape Relief Foundation (NARF).
I am currently employed for a federal agency for approximately 24 years. I am a later bloomer in receiving my degree. In 2011, I received my Bachelor degree in Business Administration and in 2013; I received my Master degree in Organizational Management. I intend to finish the project till the Lord says, well done my faithful servant.
