Poverty in Honduras

Children growing up in poverty in Honduras face difficulties including widespread disease from poor sanitation, high crime rates, dangerous gang violence, and poor educational resources.

That is why we focus on providing crucial health programs, anti-parasite treatments, educational support and tutoring, and youth empowerment programs as alternatives to gangs.

See how our program works and why we focus on health, education, empowerment and employment.
