Target Audience Description:
The target is a typical low-income rural household in Nicaragua.
The head of household, Pedro Lopez, is a hard working peasant, loving
his family and willing to do anything for them. His 12 years old daughter,
Adela Carmen, has asthma and periodically needs to visit a doctor in the
nearest city. Her sickness is hardly in control and her asthma attacks are
sometimes severe. Expenses are high but his daughter’s suffering is hard
to bear. He has two other older boys, 14 and 16, that help around. His
wife, Alejandra, spends a lot of time in the kitchen, with their daughter,
cooking and providing meals for the family. He wishes that his daughter
suffer less and has less severe attacks. They burn wood in their stove,
which Alejandra and Adela Carmen are collecting once a week for at
least half day. They own two cows, 3 pigs, 1 goat and 30 chickens. They
also grow corn, beans and millet crops during the rainy season, which
lasts from May through October. During the rest of the year, there is
virtually no rain and Pedro leaves to work elsewhere.
