Meet Miguel

In Miguel’s own words.

My name is Miguel and my birthday is August 29th. I live in Nicaragua with my family. I have 3 sisters: Jaquelin, Meybeling, and Maykeling. My favorite animal is a zebra. I have two favorite colors: black and green. My favorite class at school is Spanish class.

Miguel likes to help his father with woodworking.

The Context

Miguel’s world.

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