Jicaro Lodge is one of the most sustainable lodges in Nicaragua, and has won several awards for its environmental initiatives. The lodge uses solar panels to generate electricity, collects rainwater for irrigation and drinking, composts organic waste and recycles plastic bottles. The lodge also supports the local community by employing local staff, sourcing food from local farmers and fishermen, and donating to various projects such as schools, health clinics and women’s groups. The lodge also works closely with the Rainforest Alliance to protect and restore the lake’s ecosystem and wildlife. Jicaro Lodge is not only a luxury destination, but also a social enterprise that aims to empower the local community and improve their quality of life. The lodge employs over 40 staff members from nearby islands, who receive fair wages, training and benefits. The lodge also provides scholarships for local children to attend school and university, sponsors medical missions to provide free health care for islanders, and supports women’s empowerment through microfinance and handicraft projects. The lodge also encourages guests to interact with the local community through cultural activities such as cooking classes, language lessons, coconut demonstrations, kava ceremonies and island tours.
