FEED NICARAGUA is another one of the ministries of the NiCE Foundation. It began when we observed that the children in the schools and churches we work with were suffering from hunger and malnutrition. Our NiCE food packages are a rice-soy casserole fortified with 21 essential vitamins and minerals, 6 dehydrated vegetables, plus chicken flavoring. The meals are provided by churches and other organizations that sponsor the meal packings, provide the volunteers to pack the meals, and fund the 35 cents per meal cost. Currently, we are supplying nearly 75,000 meals per month.

Horizon International is a non-denominational Christian ministry guided by our mission and vision to: create a world of hope through African orphans. Horizon International is a non-denominational Christian ministry motivated by this vision: “For you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall” (Malachi 4:2, NIV). Accordingly, Horizon reveres the name and mission of Jesus Christ, shining today as the sun of righteousness, and is dedicated to creating a world of hope for AIDS orphans and the Christian leaders and caregivers who serve them and their extended families. Underlying this reverence and dedication are certain affirmations of Christian faith.
