The Nicaraguan Revolution affected Waslala tremendously - it was the location of many guerrilla fights. The city has electricity, television and cable service, and cell phone service. Few of the 95 outlying communities have electricity or running water although some business owners have generators for limited power supplies.
Many organizations are working in Waslala to help the community build the local economy and improve the health of the people that live there including Water for Waslala [2] and Pigs for Kids.[3]
