Meet Oscar

In Oscar’s own words.

My name is Oscar. My birthday is February 16, 2011. I live in the city of Granada, Nicaragua, with my family.

The Context

Oscar’s world.

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

Someone already walks with Oscar. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
