GIVING TUESDAY MATCH

Help vulnerable children find hope in 2023

Thousands of children, through no fault of their own, 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.

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.

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?
November 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, especially in northern areas like Madriz, Jinotega, and Nueva Segovia.

Our Response:

ORPHANetwork is partnered with local church-based feeding programs in these regions, 

providing nourishing meals supplied by our Gift-in-Kind partners to send much-needed hope and stability to vulnerable children.

How Your Gifts Make A Difference:
It costs $0.33 to provide one meal.

Our 34 church partners in Madriz, Jinotega, and Nueva Segovia plan to serve 152,000 meals to 3,500 vulnerable children in 2023. Your gift will provide our local partners with meals that send messages of hope, prevent hunger and malnutrition, and bring stability to children enduring a season of scarcity.

Why Now Matters:
3,500 children in the northern-most part of the dry corridor are at risk of malnutrition

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