Who We Serve
Nourish, formerly ORPHANetwork, serves the highly vulnerable children of Nicaragua—one of the poorest countries in Central America and the poorest Spanish-speaking nation in the western hemisphere.
In the communities we serve…
70% of the families served are poor (defined as $3.65 per capita per day) and 26% of the families live in extreme poverty.
Of the 26% who live in extreme poverty, 91% of Nourish children live in families with income less than $1.01 per person/per day.*
Living conditions are crowded as most households consist of extended families with six to eight children in a small structure.
Reliable food sources are scarce, education is undervalued, teenage pregnancies are staggering, and economic opportunities are few and far between.
*results from an internal organizational survey of families living in Nourish partner communities in 2023.

THROUGH GENEROUS HEARTS & DONATIONS, Nourish
