Empowering Communities to Inspire Change

Race Against Hunger/Sweat for Impact 2024

In 2024 Mujeres Que Mueven is excited to be offering more programming than ever to our community of women.

Along with doubling our daily fitness class offerings (Mon-Fri 6:30am +3:30pm) and annual month long nutrition challenge; this year we will be expanding our programming to include monthly educational wellness workshops, creating community through more women’s nights and wellness trips to Leon with Daniella Urita at Casa Aruna.

We also plan to add four new jobs and 2 new revenue projects in addition to our coloring books and t-shirt sales which were added in our 2023 season. These revenue projects will focus on creating jobs, creating sustainable income to further the mission of MQM, teaching our members entrepreneurial skills and crafting beautiful handmade items that represent our women and our community.

In our 2023 season we were also able to add a new community lead initiative called the “Pay it Forward” project. We gave two of our young leaders, Mareling Cardenas and Magdalena Castro, a budget for a community project and they organized and executed that project to benefit a familly in need in our local community. You can find pictures of that project as well as the details about our current fundraiser below.

We look forward to continuing to further the education of and inspire the women of our community on all aspects of health and wellness.

       For the 2024 season, Mujeres Que Mueven is excited to announce that they have joined forces with Waves of Hope, Rise Up Kids and Surf with Amigas!! Our joint project: SWEAT FOR IMPACT will benefit the community at large.  Waves of Hope, Rise Up Kids, Surf with Amigas, and Mujeres Que Mueven all believe in the power of community.

Over the past few years Waves of Hope has  been heavily focused on supporting families through the COVID 19 crisis, specifically with a focus on helping those in need of the basics; food and water. This support was desperately needed due to the  loss of jobs caused by the collapse of the Nica tourism industry. Rise up KIDS is a local organization that works to improve education and development of the children of Northern Nicaragua. Surf with Amigas is a local surfing camp that gives back to the community through their sponsorship of other local charities, home building and improvement, and  sponsorship of local children’s sports teams and adventures. As we move forward as a community, we are refocusing on our initial roots of supporting our community through education, health, wellness and infrastructure initiatives.

Mujeres Que Mueven believes that a strong community starts in the home and a healthy community requires empowered women. For that reason we have partnered with these organizations to further expand our reach and benefit our community. MQM will continue our initiative to inspire and empower women to better self manage their health through movement, group support and dietary awareness. Donations will be used to continue to expand programming and workshops, provide new and improved fitness equipment, and continue the health and wellness education of the women in our community.

Wellness Workshops

Mujeres Que Mueven will present a series of 5 workshops this season from February to June, hosted by our local hotels and wellness spaces, featuring women educators from Nicaragua such as nutritionist, author and entrepreneur Maria Fernanda, @LaNicaHealthy, to continue education on a wide variety of wellness topics and inspire our local ladies through hearing stories of success from other Nicaraguan women!

Community is the backbone of our project which is why this season Mujeres Que Mueven will create a series of community centered women’s nights and adventures where we will create space to connect and learn about a new wellness practice we can incorporate into our routines at home such as affirmation, meditation and self massage.

Support Change

In 2024 Mujeres Que Mueven will DOUBLE their daily fitness class offerings!!

Monday-Friday at both 6:30am and 3:30 pm!!

MQM has offered daily fitness, yoga and movement classes for the last 5 years, free to the community to support local women in their journey towards health. Pictured left is a new member to our group Mercedes who has given us permission to share her progress. She came to our group in April of 2022 and has been participating in our fitness classes (when we can hold them, we still have no rain cover! but that’s about to change!) and the women in our group have taken her in and truly made in incredible impact on her health and her life.
