Core offering

Waves of Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that runs faith-based humanitarian programs in rural Nicaragua, including monthly food packet delivery to the elderly, school supplies and uniforms for students, an English-speaking church outpost, a veteran adventure therapy program, water access, and organic farming/aquaponics, supplemented by short-term mission trips for outside volunteers. The organization is donor-funded and operates primarily through its Garden of Eden campus in Guasacate.

Product overview

Waves of Love is a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit organization founded in 2010 that operates a collection of community-based humanitarian programs in Nicaragua. Rather than a unified technology product, the organization offers multiple distinct service programs: Mission Trips (group adventure missions), Family Food Packets (elderly feeding program), Library & College Students Support (education assistance), The Church of Eleven22 Outpost (English-speaking faith community), Fortunate Sons (veteran healing program), Agua De Vida (water access), and Organic Farming/Aquaponics (agricultural development). These programs focus on community-based efforts including education, food aid, faith-based worship, and veteran support services.
