Mpowering People

An introductory movie to Mpowering People, a very pro-active non-profit organization in León, Nicaragua. Its vision is to become a self-sustainable organization that provides an integral education to the street kids of León, so they can break the vicious circle of poverty. MPP also aims to develop the self-esteem and economical independence necessary to build a promising future of the families involved.

I did an internship at this organization in the months June, July and August of 2009. It has been an unforgettable experience to work with these people and the beneficiaries of the organization. I sincerely believe that what this organization does add value to the lives of these childeren, their parents, and the socio-economic environment of the areas they live in. It'll be difficult to eradicate poverty in Nicaragua just like that, but the small steps that MPP is helping these people to take are very, very valuable..

This movie is by the way made by two ex-beneficiaries of the organization, with the great help of Michealangelo Trujillo. Thanks to Mateo Garibaldi as well for letting us use his computers! Cheers!
