Stay with Purpose

At Cielo y Tierra, your stay is about more than experiencing the beauty of Ometepe. Every night you book helps support families in need through our local community projects. If you'd like to get even more involved, you're welcome to join one of our outreach activities. Come not only as a visitor, but as someone who leaves a positive impact on this beautiful island.

Your booking helps the local community

We use a portion of every booking to support projects in the local community. Book through another platform, and 10% goes toward these projects. Book directly with us and we donate 20%, at no extra cost to you. The price stays the same, but your impact is greater.

Community Projects

Each time we'll see which families need help and with what exactly. But the most of the help we provide can be divided in the next 4 categories.

Living solutions

The daily life of people can be improved by their living situation. Sometimes small adjustments can already make a difference. For example we replaced the plastic walls of the bedroom of an old lady with bamboo, so it was less hot when she was resting in the day. Or we gifted a water tank to a school so they always have drinking water.

Providing food

When people have very little money it's sometimes difficult to buy enough food. We organise every month an action to go bring basic food packages to people in need, with things like rice, sugar, soap, flour, etc. With your help I can spread this out a lot more and help more families. We also want to start cooking and sharing meals.

Medical necessities

While basic care in the hospital is covered, families often still need to pay for essentials such as food, water, and medicine. Necessary medical devices need to come from the own pocket. Family members must also take time off work to provide care, creating even more financial pressure.

Handing out Bibles

As this is a Christian initiative and a big part of the community is Christian, we hand out Bibles to people who can't afford one. It can make a big difference emotionally and spiritually to have the hope of the Word of God. People feel strenghtend to keep on going when circumstances are difficult.
