ORPHANetwork
Thousands of children suffer from the complexities of poverty. In Nicaragua’s Dry Corridor, hunger and malnutrition only increase with the onset of the dry season, but the local church offers hope for a better tomorrow and it starts with a meal.

We sat down with our donors and asked a very powerful question:

“If you could send a message to a child who receives a meal because of you, what would you want them to hear?”
DONATE NOW

ORPHANetwork serves 30,000 children in Nicaragua

more than HALF of them live in the dry corridor.

Inflation

Global inflation has caused food prices to skyrocket, monopolizing more than 60% of a family’s income.

Migration

Many people move from their homes searching for work opportunities, leaving children in the care of other family members with little resources. 

$1/day

While The World Bank defines the global poverty line as $2.15/day, 90% of the families we serve are trying to survive on $1.02/day.

Months of drought followed by torrential downpours cause flooding and make crops unsustainable.

A Simple Meal Can Be Their Message of Hope.

Alexandra and Raquel are two sisters who are extremely grateful for the meals they receive at their local church. Daily meals help protect these girls from from water-borne illnesses when clean water only comes once a month or is a 25-minute walk away.

Less time spent retrieving water and possibly being sick means more time for Alexandra and Raquel go to school and develop the confidence and courage needed to reach their God-given potential.

When you Donate now you help children just like Alexandra and Raquel thrive. Providing essential nourishment, that changes lives.

Why the Dry Corridor?
The end of the year marks a significant transition in Nicaragua’s Dry Corridor.

As the rainy season comes to a close and months of drought are on the horizon, food shortages are exacerbated, and children in poverty face hunger and malnutrition. Over half of the children that ORPHANetwork’s local partners serve are located in the dry corridor where extreme weather conditions disrupt farming practices, and send food prices soaring.

Why Now Matters:
Children in the dry corridor are at risk of malnutrition

and undernourishment due to food shortages and the lack of affordable, high-quality food. This situation is hindering their physical development, making immediate support vital for their well-being.
