Maria Isis is a very young Brazilian girl who lives with her parents, Francisco and Sandrilene, and with a brother, in a small rural village located in the interior of the state of Ceara, which is a hot and remote region. Their simple home has brick walls, rough cement floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is self-built and has a tiny bathroom. Francisco works as a production assistant in a local factory and his earnings are far from enough to meet even the most basic needs of his family. Maria Isis is an active and sweet baby. She crawls all over the floor and stands on her feet without support for a little while. She takes bottles as well as solid foods like corn pap and vegetable soup. She likes playing with colorful and noisy toys. Maria Isis is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. Through your support Maria Isis and her family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.
