Meet Derek
In Derek’s own words.
My name is Derek. My birthday is August 28th. I live in 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.
Derek has a sponsor.
Someone already walks with Derek. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
