Established in 2006, Rayo de Sol is a non-denominational Christian organization guided by the love of God and a deep commitment to serving children and families in Nicaragua. Our journey began with a simple vision: to empower communities through sustainable development initiatives.

We began with a small, pilot project working with 400 students in one school in Matagalpa. Over the years, we have expanded both our program offerings and our coverage in Matagalpa.

Today, we serve 41 communities in Matagalpa and surrounding rural areas, with a total population of more than 10,000.
