Roughly 50%of the Nicaragua population lives in poverty. Currently, more than 43% of the population lives in isolated, rural areas of the country. Of this population, 85% struggle to live on more than $1 daily. Communities are limited in their access to basic health services because of poor read infrastructure, also making transportation and trade extremely difficult. Historically, each step forward that Nicaragua has taken in the realm of development has been counteracted with a step back in the form of a revolution, natural disasters, repealing of funding for governmental projects or foreign aid.
