Some children don't even have homes, they sleep on the streets as well.
No clean water
I live in the capital, Managua. A village near to me has no clean water and the people who live there have to walk a long way to get water.
Some homes don't have electricity either.
It's a very bad society for children to grow up in - lack of food, education and healthcare.
We need help from other countries to make our situation better. But it's difficult because we owe countries a lot of money and it doesn't give us the chance to grow - we are one of the poorest countries in Latin America.
I take it very personally, I want to make a difference. I've been lucky, my mother has paid for me to learn English and now I want to do something for my country by speaking out about it."
