Giving Back: Our Commitment to Nicaragua
Since we started Adelisa & Co. in 2016, our mission has always been about more than just creating beautiful, handcrafted shoes. From the very beginning, we’ve been committed to using our business to give back in Nicaragua, where all of our shoes are made by Marvin and his talented team of artisans.
Through projects focused on education, housing, and access to clean water, we’re working to create lasting change in the communities that make our work possible.
What makes our approach a little different is that giving is built into how we run our business. Instead of relying on outside donations or asking customers to contribute more, we give directly from our profits. That means every purchase plays a part in helping us give back. When you buy a pair of shoes, you’re not just getting timeless craftsmanship. You’re helping make real change happen.
Investing in Education
We believe education can change everything. Over the years, we’ve been able to sponsor students and help cover the costs of school, books, and supplies so they can focus on learning. Our goal is to open doors and create opportunities that wouldn’t exist otherwise.
Building Homes for Families
A safe home makes a huge difference for a family. Through our giving, we’ve been able to build homes for families who need them most. These homes bring stability, comfort, and a space to grow and thrive.
Providing Access to Clean Water
Clean water is something many of us take for granted, but in parts of Nicaragua, it's still hard to access. So far, we’ve helped fund two wells that now provide clean, safe water to families who used to walk long distances just to collect it. Access to clean water improves health, hygiene, and peace of mind.
Looking Ahead
Giving back will always be at the heart of what we do. As we continue to grow, we’re committed to doing even more. Whether it’s helping more students, building more homes, or bringing clean water to more communities, we’re always looking for ways to deepen our impact in the country we love so much.
None of this would be possible without you. Every time you shop with us, you help make these projects happen. You’re not just buying shoes. You’re helping change lives.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
Together, we’re making a difference, one step at a time.
