Meet Derek
In Derek’s own words.
My name is Derek. My birthday is August 28, 2017. I live in the city of Granada, Nicaragua, with my family.
The Context
Derek’s world.
Derek lives in Granada, Nicaragua — one of the oldest colonial cities in the Americas. Behind the painted facades and cobblestone streets, families in the surrounding barrios survive on less than $10 a day.
63% of Nicaraguans live in poverty. In the barrios where Derek lives, tropical downpours turn roads to mud and make schools unreachable for weeks. 19% of children under five have developmental delays from malnutrition.
Sponsor Derek.
Your sponsorship of $40 per month helps provide Derek with education, nutritious meals, and medical support — and brings Granada one step closer to having every child sponsored.
