The Challenge of Child Poverty in Nicaragua
In the heart of Nicaragua, one of the poorest countries in Central America, seven dedicated teachers deliver hope through their Christian school where education transcends traditional learning. Their mission goes far beyond textbooks and lesson plans—it’s about nurturing the potential of children facing extraordinary challenges.
