Who We Serve

The highly vulnerable children of Nicaragua, the poorest Spanish-speaking country in the world.

LEARN MORE
Children, by no choice of their own, live in a complex environment of economic fragility, relational and household instability, lack of access to safe water, medical facilities, security and much more. We define the children of our calling as “highly vulnerable.”

They are defined as such because in many ways they are victims of dynamics well out of their control. Natural disasters. The global food crisis. Global humanitarian crises. Covid variants. Inflation surges. Mounting debt for poor countries. Central American emigration. Much of this has a direct impact on hunger and inconsistent income generation.

About Our Programs

MEET KEREN

Keren is 12 years-old
Keren lives with her father, mother and little sister in a humble home in a rural area of northern Nicaragua.

As the eldest daughter of the family, she supports the household by working at the coffee farms during the busy season.

Unfortunately, this is common.

By 12, many kids are expected to work rather than go to school. By 14, nearly every child in this area of the country is working on the coffee plantations.

Keren came into the ORPHANetwork community at age 7 and diligently began attending After School Education Program at her local church.

Since then, she has excelled.

Keren can read with grade-level comprehension, intonation and fluency. She can identify natural numbers up to 1,000,000 and geometric shapes, performs advanced addition and subtraction.

And always offers to help her other classmates.

Keren and her mother also participate in Bible study and are involved in church activities.

When Keren completes 6th grade this year, she will be amongst only 20% of the rural Nicaraguan child population to do so.

ORPHANetwork is working to change that statistic and give all children like Keren the opportunity to pursue life paths based on their passions and potential.
