Meet Shirley

In Shirley’s own words.

My name is Shirley. My birthday is July 29, 2012. I live in the city of Granada, Nicaragua, where I attend school.

The Context

Shirley’s world.

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