“Sincotex Cares is a foreign charitable foundation that our factory in Nicaragua established
in 2008 in order to give back to the local community of Tipitapa,
Nicaragua. Each
year we will chose a project with the goal of making a significant and tangible
difference in a short period of time.
Sincotex Cares will oversee the project from start to finish in
order to guarantee that 100% of the donations are used solely for the
project.”
Jeff Rosenstock, President of Sincotex Cares

2008-2009 Project
After our first year of operation, we wanted to give back to the local

We decided to restore a playground that was just outside the
largest school in Tipitapa.
