What's new at NSC?

 

 

Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign (NSC) works to address economic disadvantage in Nicaragua by channelling material and moral support to partner organisations and communities and building solidarity with these organisations and communities.

Another major part of our work is educational: to disseminate information and raise awareness in the UK of social and economic issues affecting Nicaragua.

We carry this out through tours to Nicaragua >>, speaker tours in the UK, campaigning and lobbying activities and distributing reports and briefings.

We have two current campaigning priorities. One is our Education for All campaign >>: solidarity
with the Nicaraguan people in their collective efforts to meet the UN Millennium Development Goal of a complete primary education for all by 2015.
The other is Fair Trade and Trade Justice >>: linking fair trade consumers in the UK with fair trade producers in Nicaragua, and linking activists in both countries. We also support Wales NSC, our local groups and 13 towns and communities with twinning links in Nicaragua.

Working with trade unions is also extremely important. Since NSC became a charity this is carried out through the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign Action Group (NSCAG) >>

NSC is a membership organisation with offices in London and Managua and a network of affiliated individuals and groups in England, Scotland and Wales.
