Meet Samantha

In Samantha’s own words.

My name is Samantha and my birthday is August 19th. I live in Nicaragua with my family. Light green is my favorite color. My favorite animal is a chicken. My favorite class in school is dance class. Two things I like to do in my free time are dance and paint.

Samantha loves to dance.

The Context

Samantha’s world.

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