Each year with your help, Quest for Peace sends 60 tons of school supplies from you, our supporters, to Nicaragua for use in rural schools. With an average annual income of $400, Nicaraguan families cannot afford supplies for their several children - nor does the government provide them. 

Quest for Peace has developed materials to facilitate your participation in the Clean Your Desk program. These materials are available in the Clean Your Desk Packet which is free for download.
