Meet Engel

In Engel’s own words.

My name is Engel. My birthday is July 15th. I live in the city of Granada, Nicaragua, where I attend school. I love to play soccer. Someday I want to become an auto mechanic.

“Engel is learning to speak English. He is also learning about being a Barber (cutting hair).”

Soccer, Working on automobiles

The Context

Engel’s world.

Engel 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 Engel lives, tropical downpours turn roads to mud and make schools unreachable for weeks. 19% of children under five have developmental delays from malnutrition.

Someone already walks with Engel. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
