Our Programs
We empower economically and politically marginalized people in rural Honduras to create stronger, more resilient, and self-sufficient communities.
-
Community Engagement
We partner with the communities we serve through community-determined projects with local leadership boards known as "Patronatos" who help prioritize and evaluate direction; developing shared assets such as the building of the community center, health clinic, schools, and lending library; and shared decision-making with all community members.
-
Education
We support education through long-term investments in educational access. This support includes a supervised boarding house for students from families in San Jose for whom daily travel distance to school would be a barrier, funding for required uniforms and supplies, tutoring, and scholarship support for university study.
-
Health
We support healthy children and families through a weekly nutrition program for 0-5-year-olds in San Jose and Plan Grande, as well as a health clinic and full-time nursing services in San Jose. We also sponsor affordable water filtration systems, solar lights, charging stations, roofs, and floors for health and safety promotion.
-
Girls Empowerment
We support after-school programming for girls that encourages leadership, positive social interaction, and academic tutoring.
-
