Honduras has a 66% poverty rate and is currently the most unequal country in Latin America. Crime and violence remain rampant, as Honduras continues to have one of the highest homicide rates in the world. 37% of Honduran children of secondary school age (12-16) are out of school. Of the poorest quintile, 62% are out of school. (FHI360)
We believe those statistics can be changed.

Our current project | School #63
Buen Samaritano | La Lima, Honduras
Escuela Buen Samaritano, located in La Lima, Cortés, was destroyed by Hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020. We are partnering with this community to rebuild the school which will provide three classrooms.
This school serves 80 students from 1st through 6th grade across three communities. There is a separate kindergarten classroom that was repaired earlier this year.
