The Dina Carrión Foundation began its annual campaign called “Back to School 2023”, which aims to benefit Nicaraguan children and adolescents who have been orphaned as a result of femicides. The cases they support are those of minors who are going through this situation from 2016 to the present. The organization’s goal is for children to “break the cycle of violence” through educational training.
“Back to School 2023” began its collection process in the second week of December and will end on January 15 of next year. Said campaign aims to raise funds for the purchase of complete school packages that include a backpack with supplies, three sets of uniforms (blouse, pants and/or skirt), a pair of black shoes, three pairs of socks, a pair of tennis shoes and three pairs of socks for the children who are cared for by the Foundation.

«For the seventh consecutive year we appreciate your support by donating any of our packages valued at $30 or any grain of sand. You can also donate school supplies in Nicaragua. Let’s help them change their lives,” says the organization’s campaign. In addition, they reiterate that this coming year they will continue to psychologically accompany the sons and daughters of the women victims.
“We are completing the proposed goals, evaluating the achievements of this year 2022, one of these purposes is to continue providing support for children and adolescents to mourn the loss of their mothers, breaking the cycle of violence in their lives. It is not an easy task because we have histories in which violence has been generalized and lived from generation to generation, but we set ourselves goals and objectives, which is to deconstruct the system of violence, this is achieved based on education,” says Aida Carrión , CEO of the Foundation.
“Therefore, our purpose is to collect school packages for our children who are beneficiaries,” added the representative of the Foundation.
