Meet Santito
In Santito’s own words.
My name is Santito. My birthday is September 14, 2013. I live in the city of Granada, Nicaragua, where I attend school.
The Context
Santito’s world.
Santito 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 Santito lives, tropical downpours turn roads to mud and make schools unreachable for weeks. 19% of children under five have developmental delays from malnutrition.
Santito has a sponsor.
Someone already walks with Santito. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
