The Honduras Project A Mission among the people of honduras

The Honduras Project

School Supply Drive......

Education changes everything. But for those living in extreme poverty, below $5.00 a day, the cost of education is beyond their reach. For these families the $100-$150 it cost to supply a child with supplies is the equivalent to 2 or 3 weeks wages. It is a choice between food and school. For families with more than one child often it a choice of “which” child goes to school.

Every child deserves an education and we strive to provide that opportunity to as many children as possible. We know that if children are educated the future changes for the entire family and for future generations. Without education the very violent cycle of poverty continues with NO hope for change. Please join us in sending children to school and effecting change in the fight against poverty.

4 students graduate High School with years of support from The Honduras Project....
Among those living in extreme poverty education beyond the 3rd grade is very rare. Due to the lack of funds and the need to work to help the family children are forced to leave school at a very young age.
After many years of support from the generous hearts of The Honduras Project supporters, we had the joy of seeing our first students finish High School! Jonathan, Cesar Manuel, Alfredo and Angelica all completed their education and graduated in November of 2012. We are very proud of their hard work and dedication. What this shows us is that given the opportunity students will thrive and work hard to have a different future. Each one of these young people now have many more doors open to them. Angelica is already enrolled in University and Cesar Manuel plans to attend as well. Jonathan and Alfredo both finished a track of tourism in their trade high school and we hope to see them pursue work in that field.

What we are doing is working.....please join us in creating many more success stories!

"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.” James 2:14-18
