Adelisa & Co has changed a lot as a company since we started in 2016. but one thing has stayed the same; our mission to contribute to the country where our products our made. Our vision has always been to do donations that have a long term, lasting affect on the lives of different inviduals and communities in Nicaragua. Over the years, because of your purchases, our ability to contribute to larger, sustainable donations has increased and we're excited to announce our "wear them well" project.  

In 2019, we committed to building our very first well in a small community in rural Nicaragua. The direct and lasting impact on residents there since it was built has been incredible, and we are excited to reach more communities like this in the future.

So many communities in Nicaragua still don't have access to reliable sources of water and we want to change that. Oftentimes, only hand dug wells that produce insufficient or unclean water are avaialble. Many people are forced to rely on purchasing clean drinking water from private companies, or to transport water from other communities which is a huge task.

Wells also have a huge impact on a community's overall health. A study was conducted by the company that built our first well and before it was completed, 60% of the community had parasites. Only 3 months after having consistent access to clean drinking water, 0% of the community tested positive. Over 1,000 people's daily lives and health were impacted for the better because of one well.
