HISTORY
The Holy Face parish is locate in the Costa Rica Neighborhood, which has an estimated population of 4,736 people. The parish's socio-pastoral mission has worked for 50 years, injecting strength and vitality in the community; it is know as a ponit of reference and support for humand and community development among children, young and adults.
The parish institution, with support from the community, has worked in the educational and social sector without regard to religious beliefs, political ideology, gender, ethnicity or social class. A fruit of this effort, the Holy Face parish school center was foundede in 1960 as a center location for intellectual fomation and education in etnics and Christian values. It is characterized by the participation of community membrers from nearby neighborhoods (Riguero Norte, El Eden, Colonia Christian Pérez, Colonia Maestro Gabriel, Anexo de Bello Horizonte y Larreynaga) that have an estimated population of 3,832 inhabitants, according to the Nicaraguan Institute of Development Information.
The relevant media throug which the educational and social mission has been carried out through the years have been human resources ans infraestructure. Althoug the parish currently has the disposition, support, time and capacity of more people, it does not posses the infraestructure necessary to improve upon its mission.
THE BENEFICIARIES
In the Santa Faz Parochial School each year there are 400 primary and secondary students. This is a non-profit school is for children and adolescents (girls and boys) from families with very limited incomes, regardless of their religious affiliation. The school has been supported by the parish and by contributions from parents. The school has been in existence for forty years but it was temporarily closed two years ago because of the unsafe condition of the building.
PROJECTS
Technical specifications and analysis from engineers that are members of the parish community indicate the the infrastructure has surpe, rendering the installations as too unsafe and disfunctional to carry out the socio-pastoral plan of the comassed its useful lifmunity and confront the challenges of the new millennium. An immediate consequence of the damages infraestructure was the 2009 closure of the primary and secundary schools, eliminating on one hand the opportunity of hundreds of poor children and adolescents between the ages of five and 18 years to receive and educations in their neighborhood, and, on the other, possibility of utilizing the center for social means; these opportunities are unavailable in the neighborhood and among the surrounding institutions that support these age groups.
From this point it is important to not leave aside the efforts put forth and the achievements of the last 50 year, which present the need to builds a new, funtional, safe and comfortable multiuse center to continue to plant the seed of seed of hope in the coomunity and contribute to the education of man and women for the good of Nicaragua.
OBJECTIVES

It is a school for the development of the most elemental values of respect, tolenrance, solidarity, fratenity, resposability and honesty.
