Daukaia : Miskito for 'learning by doing'

Carl Melvin (President) and Bill Heffernan (Co-Founder and Vice-President) visited our partner Daukaia during their visit to Nicaragua last month.

Daukaia – which means ‘learning by doing’ in Miskito – provides academic reinforcement, nutrition, hygiene, and personal development for poor children in primary and secondary school in Ocotál (Nueva Segovia) close to the Honduran border. Our newest partner, we have been supporting them since 2022. The children who go to Daukaia love their time there. Some like to say, “full belly, happy heart and energy to learn.”
