Why Nicaragua?
Hurricanes Iota and Eta struck Nicaragua in November 2020, with catastrophic force, causing widespread damage, loss of life and aggravating the risks of the COVID-19 transmission. Nicaragua is the Second poorest country in Latin America after Haiti, and today 1.2 million Nicaraguan children are living in emergency conditions and nearly 40% of children under 5 are chronically malnourished. 46% of Nicaraguan live below poverty line.
