Rancho Viejo
About Rancho Viejo
Rancho Viejo, meaning “Old Shack,” began as a coffee-growing area before families gradually settled and established the community. Coffee remains the primary crop, while the favorable climate also supports fruit trees such as oranges, lemons, mangoes, avocados, and bananas. Some families have also expanded into honey production. The Rancho Viejo River flows through the community, providing an important water source for local agriculture before joining the Selegua River.
Rancho Viejo has partnered with The 410 Bridge since 2017. The primary language spoken is Spanish.
Community priorities include improving educational opportunities for children, strengthening local leadership, supporting children’s spiritual development through Bible camps, and continuing support for children with special needs.

Sponsor Community
When you sponsor the community through 410 Bridge, you support programs and projects that allow the people to fix their own unique set of barriers. Every chance we get, we want to empower and lift up people to recognize that God has given them giftings and skills to move their communities forward to a better and more self-sustaining place.
Sponsoring the community, whether for $18, $23, $35, or more a month, allows for this to happen
