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