Our Story

In 2016 a leadership class at Heritage High School was searching for a school to partner with in a developing country. That search led them to a group of amazing people in Leon Nicaragua who had a desire to serve a special community through education and health care. In an incredible chain of events the Heritage High School Leadership Class partnered with community leaders in Leon and provided the resources to build Katie Beth Carter Memorial Institute in Tomas Borge, Nicaragua. As the Ringgold community embraced the community of Tomas Borge a vision for the future was born.  Legacy Builders was created to enact that vision.

Today Legacy Builders is operated entirely by volunteers from the Ringgold Georgia area. The relationship between the two communities continues to grow to this day. Currently Legacy Builders provides the resources necessary for education, health care, vocational training, and food engineering in the Tomas Borge Community in Leon Nicaragua.
