Winds of Peace Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Faribault, MN, dedicated to supporting grassroots producer cooperatives in Nicaragua. Since 1997, they have provided over $5.2 million in direct loans to cooperatives, helping them collect their harvest and access credit when other institutions were not available. They also work with community social enterprises and promote participatory forms of organization, where information, profits, and leadership are shared among local communities.
With a focus on the agricultural sector, Winds of Peace Foundation supports Nicaraguan microcredit organizations to provide capital to the poor and improve their access to credit. They also have an educational fund that aims to transform Nicaraguan education by increasing practical access and quality, collaborating with local entities, and funding research and development initiatives. Through their accompaniment program, they provide ongoing support to cooperatives and community organizations, empowering local populations to reflect on and resolve their own problems.
