Meet Juliht

In Juliht’s own words.

My name is Juliht. My birthday is September 7, 2011. I live in Nicaragua with my family. My favorite class in school is Social Studies and my favorite color is red. I like watching television and chatting with my friends.

“Juliht is very calm and very shy.”

The Context

Juliht’s world.

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