Meet Israel

In Israel’s own words.

My name is Israel and my birthday is March 30th. I live in Nicaragua with my family. My favorite color is red and my favorite animal is a lion. In school, my favorite class is PE.

Israel loves to watch and play soccer.

The Context

Israel’s world.

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