We invite you to be among the first to have the fashion-forward accessories of Nicology. The women of Nicology live in and around Managua's massive municipal dump. Several of the women otherwise work collecting plastic bottles from the streets to sell for pennies a day to consolidators who ship them to other countries for reprocessing. Nicología provides them an opportunity to use their creative skills to transform the ¨trash¨themselves. Nicology...because no one is disposable.

Hi Jessica,
Let's see if this works... My first comment on a "blog" Many thanks for including me in the thank you list... My participation is so minor, but I am very happy to be a small part of this very wonderful project. The jewelery is beautiful, but more importantly the very many skills the women are acquiring will have such an important impact on their lives, that of their children and others around them. You should be very proud... Congratulations!! Magaly
