IT MATTERS TO THEM!

Children outside their home
Children outside their home.

No child should have to live in a dirt-floored chicken shed. When it rains, raw sewage from the outhouse flows through the living area.

There is no sink or toilet, no electricity; forget about luxuries such as TV, telephone, fridge and stove. There isn't even running water.

Beans and rice, when available, is cooked by open pit fire. Rain water is collected in worn out plastic tubs, covered with bits of wood to keep mosquito larvae from forming.

Dengue disease and malaria are constant concerns.  Having extra money left over to send a child to school is the only luxury. This is how the majority of Nicaragua’s live right now.

It’s hard for you and I to imagine living conditions so impoverished; so painful and unfair. But that’s how it is!   80% of the world’s developing nations live this way. Nicaragua is no exemption.  Surprisingly, despite hard conditions, the human spirit prevails.

Nicaragua is where this present chapter of World Kids Foundation continues to aim its energy. Nicaragua is where together we can reach out and make some kind of a  difference, no matter how small that difference may be,  it matters big to them.

Perhaps no other country in the Western Hemisphere has weathered the storms of time quite as well as Nicaragua.

When one considers its tumultuous history of dictatorships, civil war, crumbing earthquakes, hurricanes, famine and crop failure, it’s a wonder there is anything left to smile about. Yet smile is what Nicaraguan’s do best.

They are a strong and proud people who have deep respect for the past and eager to forge forward and embrace the future.

Your part in reaching out goes a long way. It matters to you and it matters to them.

For the love of life...
