2024 Impact Report: When Women Rise, Communities Thrive
As we look back on 2024, it’s impossible not to feel overwhelmed with gratitude and awe. This past year was one of incredible growth, deepening impact, and powerful stories of transformation—both personal and collective. We’re proud to share it all with you in our newly released 2024 Impact Report.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, 60 women in Nicaragua received monthly financial support through Adelante Mujer this year. These funds covered more than tuition—they provided books, transportation, uniforms, housing, and more. In short, they removed the financial barriers that so often stand between a woman and her education.
Even more exciting: we officially expanded our program into Guatemala! In our first year, we welcomed six courageous young women who are now on the path to becoming nurses in rural highland communities where healthcare access is severely limited. Each of them is already making a difference—and each of them is proof that when women rise, they lift their communities with them.
One student, Aurelia, shared her story with us:
“Every morning, I wake up before the sun and take a two-hour bus ride to get to class. I do this five days a week because I believe in the power of education—and I know that becoming a nurse will help me change lives in my community. There were moments when I didn’t think this dream was possible… But Adelante Mujer believed in me.”
Her story is not unique. It is echoed in the lives of countless women supported by Adelante Mujer—women who rise before dawn, who care for families while studying, who walk miles to reach a clinic or classroom, and who persist through every challenge because they believe in something bigger than themselves.
In 2024 alone:
- 14 women graduated from medical school in Nicaragua, bringing our total to 89 graduates since our founding.
- We strengthened partnerships with local universities, improved our funding model, and increased communication and mentorship support for our students.
- Several of our graduates received their MINSA licenses, allowing them to begin working as certified doctors across Nicaragua.
Behind every one of these milestones is the heart of this organization: you.
Your support makes this work possible. You are the reason Aurelia has a bus ride to school. You are the reason Heydi’s mother could breathe a little easier. You are the reason communities in Nicaragua and Guatemala are being transformed—one woman, one doctor, one nurse at a time.
