Our Community is Your Community - Success Begins Here

Today, Nicaragua is a experiencing a definitive economic boom, but many Nicaraguans are left behind due to a substantial lack of social development. At the core of this problem is a significant lack of adequate professional job training and schooling . At Laguna S.A. we believe that it is important to enrich the inhabitants of the communities in which we invest. A resort community itself is not a stand-alone entity. Its success is driven by the efforts of the people at the heart of the surrounding communities.

Consequently, Laguna S.A. is fully committed to working with communities and local non-profits to provide adequate resources to make a change in the lives of those who desire it. In our efforts to provide job training and schooling for our “empleos”, we enrich individual Nicaraguan lives one by one, while also improving the quality of life for their families and indirectly those in the surrounding towns and cities. In return, Los Congos employs professionally trained men and women who are subsequently critical assets to the short and long term sustainability of our resort community.

In addition to the aforementioned, Los Congos requires all subcontractors to hire and train a certain number of local residents. Over time, this “ripple effect” will have much more substantial impact than any individual resource we could provide, as local people will train other local people in trades that lead to life-long employment. Nicaraguan people are ready to work but have limited opportunity because they lack the training. Laguna S.A is committed to making a change and we feel education is the key to a successful future.

As a rule, Laguna S.A. is also fully committed to the purchase and utilization of construction materials that have originated here in Nicaragua. When a product is produced and sold locally, there is no question that the monies spent have a direct impact on the local communities. In addition to this impact of the local economy, the world benefits from reduced transport pollution, while the buyer benefits from reduced material and labor costs.

Today, Laguna S.A. is involved in many community outreach programs designed to impact local communities through its youth. Because the average age in Nicaragua is twenty-one years old, it is important to help the youngest generation develop the skills they need to enrich their lives. That is why we work very closely with Proyecto Laguna a non-profit organization that seeks to increase the coverage and quality of education in the Diria area. They have funded and worked on many social development and local community projects in this area.
