Meet Jaquelin

In Jaquelin’s own words.

My name is Jacquelin and my birthday is May 17th. I live in Nicaragua with my family. I have 3 siblings: Miguel, Meybeling, and Maykeling. I love the color yellow. My favorite animal is a cat. I enjoy painting my nails.

When Jaquelin was asked what she likes to do when she is not in school, she said she likes to play in the mud.

The Context

Jaquelin’s world.

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