North of Managua. These neighbourhoods are the catchment area for CAPRI & CCFC's local community development program. Community organization is the goal of the program, with health constituting one of its sectors of focus.

Preparing these youth to care for themselves in an holistic manner is the community's responsibility and, hence a major focus of CAPRI's work in the area. CAPRI enables communities to take responsibility of their lives and encourages community-led, participatory development. CAPRI is committed to and has been successful in applying principles of community ownership, development and sustainability.
