Meet Francela

In Francela’s own words.

My name is Francela. My birthday is October 23, 2005. I live with my family in the city of Granada, Nicaragua.

I have a chronic nutrient deficiency which prevents my body from building muscle tone.

The Context

Francela’s world.

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