Mission Opportunities

Save A Generation is able to provide such vast amounts of humanitarian aid to the people of Nicaragua and Honduras partially through the time and donations of medical, construction, and humanitarian mission groups from more than five different states. Our groups are well accommodated and the benefits they receive by booking their mission trips through our organization are extensive.

Organizing a Mission Team

Contrary to popular belief, anyone may organize a mission team to visit Nicaragua. Our cost per diem covers payment for transportation, utilities, skilled translators, comfortable beds, three excellent meals per day, and access to our churches, feeding centers and school. Medical teams also have complete access to our medical clinic and will work under the supervision of our on-site medical doctor and licenses nurse at no extra charge.

When a mission group books its trip with Save a Generation, the team is in charge and our skilled workers are at their disposal. Whether they come to Nicaragua with a specific plan and goal or whether they come simple to serve our ministry, we guarantee an overall satisfaction with the experience.

Travel to and From Nicaragua

Citizens or US nationals traveling from the US to Nicaragua will be required to present a customs declaration (filled out in-flight on the way to Nicaragua), a valid US passport, a $5.00 immigration tax, and possibly a secondary government-issued ID (driverÕs license or other REAL ID).

While in country the US passport should be carried with the citizen or national at all times. Periodic traffic stops are common and any law official may demand the presentation of documents of identity and passports at any time. On the occasional trips to Honduras from Nicaragua, US citizens and nationals must present their passport at the Honduran border and must also pay a $2.00 departure fee to leave Nicaragua and a $5.00 entry fee to enter Honduras. A secondary fee will be charged for reentry into Nicaragua.

Entry into the United States requires the presentation of the US passport and a customs declaration (filled out in-flight from Nicaragua to the US). There is no entry fee for US citizens, but US citizens may be subjected to taxation of souvenirs and goods brought into the US from Nicaragua if the good exceed a certain amount of total value.
