1. Who and how does ANF help?
ANF, in collaboration with hundreds of persons and enterprises, wishes to transcend the purpose of helping, creating conditions so that every beneficiary can rely on a network leading them towards self-sustainability.  With this goal in mind, ANF has created programs fostering increased opportunity, self-sufficiency and dignity for the poor in Nicaragua. 
ANF supports over 2,800 local organizations throughout Nicaragua with its programs that include education, nourishment, health care and housing projects.

2. How can I help?
Every dollar you donate to ANF is multiplied into hundreds of dollars worth of desperately needed food, medicine and school supplies.  This is possible thanks to ANF's extensive network of international donors that provide millions of dollars of commodities free of charge to ANF each year.  Funds donated to ANF are used to distribute the goods to needy communities throughout the country.
