410 Day is Back!

What is 410 Day?

Happening on April 10^t^h each year, 410 Day is an annual day of generous giving for our 410 Bridge community. We take this day each year to celebrate and propel positive change in the countries we work in.

This year, we’re coming together to create lasting and sustainable economic impact for families in Kenya and Guatemala.

We’re raising $41,000 for Kenya and $41,000 for Guatemala which will support our vital economic development programs in each country.

How will 410 Day impact Kenya?

Donations on 410 Day can purchase a goat, a pig, or chickens for a family living in extreme poverty in Kenya as part of our economic development programs. These livestock options are not just a one-time gift but will actually benefit families and their communities for years to come.

What a Livestock Gift Provides for a Family in Extreme Poverty:

Access to essential nutrients and protein for healthy development in children
A start-up business which provides much-needed income, helping pay for necessities and school fees
Support from 410 Bridge through programs centered on livestock care techniques and a gifting program that ensures the first-born animal from the original animal is gifted to another community member — creating self-sustainability for years after.

Other donations can go towards our Savings Group program, which helps community members stabilize their household income, have a safety net for emergencies, start or expand businesses, and cover household expenses such as school fees.

How will 410 Day impact Guatemala?

Donations on 410 Day can purchase a bee farm, fruit trees, or chickens for a family living in extreme poverty in Guatemala as part of our economic development programs.

Within our Foundation for Farming program, bee farms and fruit trees provide future opportunities for families to grow a sustainable food source, which provides food security and encourages economic development in the community.

The Foundation for Farming program helps community members utilize their bee farm and fruit trees through education on land preparation, fertilization, appropriate planting techniques, weed control, thinning, top dressing, and making compost.

How can you get involved?

It is our hope that every member of the 410 Bridge community will participate in this significant day by giving towards our $82,000 goal.

Bringing Urgent Relief to Nicaragua’s Flooded Communities

July 11, 2025

In the remote villages along the rivers of Nicaragua, life is changing—and not for the better.

Recent floods have devastated entire communities, displacing families, destroying food supplies, and washing away crops that were meant to sustain them for months to come. The villages of Makantaka, Makantakita, Company Crick, Dakban, Guadalupe, Kansas City, Betania, Angloamerica, and La Esperanza have been hit especially hard. Over 80 families in each village are now facing an uncertain future.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen flooding in this region—but those on the ground are calling this situation uniquely devastating.

Homes are unlivable. Crops are gone. Hunger is growing.

The Story of Edy Josué Ruiz

July 10, 2025

When Edy Josué Ruiz arrived at the rehabilitation center in 2018, his life was marked by loneliness and the pain of his father’s absence. He didn’t speak, didn’t play, and found refuge in silence. But God had a plan for him.

The rehabilitation center provided the support he needed through speech therapy, motor skills development, and psychological counseling. However, it was the love and faith he encountered there that truly transformed his heart. Thanks to the therapists and their dedication, Edy began to open up—he learned to speak, to smile, and most importantly, to find peace through his faith in Jesus.

Community leaders also played a key role in Edy and his mother’s journey. Through their constant support, prayers, and encouragement, they offered spiritual and emotional strength. The community became a fundamental pillar in his transformation.

The Woman Who Prayed Over Her Rabbits—And Watched Them Multiply

July 10, 2025

In the highlands of La Nueva Independencia, lives Doña Everarda Carrillo Velasquez, a 67-year-old woman whose life has been shaped by hard work, unshakable faith, and a deep love for the land. For thirty-five years, she stood faithfully by her husband, who lived with Alzheimer’s for fourteen of them. Today, with her feet rooted in the soil and her heart lifted to God, Everarda keeps moving forward.

“God gives me strength,” she says with a conviction that comes from deep within.

Last year, Doña Florinda Jimenez, a member of the Leadership Council, encouraged Everarda and her son to join a Foundations for Farming course. At first, she hesitated “Me? In an agriculture course?” but something stirred in her heart, and she decided to try. During the training, she visited a farm focused on animal husbandry, and something clicked. She was especially drawn to rabbit farming, and from that moment, she felt called to raise animals herself.
