Netherhall House, a hall of residence for university students in London, has organised work camps to Nicaragua since 2002.
Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the Northern Hemisphere. Poverty is especially acute in its rural communities where it is common to find children suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, and parasitic and viral infections. The Netherhall House work camps contribute to solving these problems by:
- Delivering health care in rural communities and in local hospitals
- Carrying out health promotion programmes to improve hygiene
- Improving the levels of sanitation through the construction of latrines
- Building and reconditioning schools and community centres
Netherhall House is part of Netherhall Educational Association registered Charity No. 236586 House
