Meet Jirlany

In Jirlany’s own words.

My name is Jirlany and my birthday is November 16th. I live in Nicaragua with my family. My favorite class in school is PE. I love the color purple. My favorite animal is a cat. I love to play with my friends and I love to dance.

Jirlany loves to dance.

The Context

Jirlany’s world.

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