Mission
The mission of Carita Feliz is to deliver whatever services to the local community that there is sufficient demand for and where it can be done in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. We are always trying to find new and innovative ways to give more back to the people who invest time and energy in coming to the center. Our suggestions box is always full and opened weekly - we're never short of ideas, just people to turn them into a reality.

Specifically, the center meets 4 primary needs of the local community:
• The need for adequate food to have the physical ability to learn and work;
• The need for relevant education and skills to be able to progress in life;
• The need for satisfying, fair and independent work to earn for their families;
• The need to gain self-confidence, independence, responsibility and ambition.

Values
The centre operates with 5 values that permeate everything we do:

• Among us is the future president of Nicaragua
• I’m Nicaraguan and proud of it
• There is no “influence” here
• I want to improve myself each day
• I contribute to my community
