Meet Yashuara

In Yashuara’s own words.

My name is Yashuara. I was born on April 30, 2011. I live in the city of Granada, Nicaragua, where I attend school.

The Context

Yashuara’s world.

Yashuara 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 Yashuara 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 Yashuara. Other children in the program are still waiting for a name to say yes.
