Our Work in Honduras
We provide sustainable food and income for orphans in a poverty stricken area.
Honduras is home to over 170k orphans
63%
Hondurans live in extreme poverty
41%
children between the ages of 5 and 17 are forced to work
800k
of the 1.8 million Honduran children are not enrolled in school
These children need a place of refuge
The Refuge Orphanage
Honduras is the second poorest country in Central America, and one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. Child labor has also become a serious problem in this Central American country. With adoption policies changing, adoptions have decreased while the number of orphans has increased, thereby straining the limited resources
Global Partners in Life is thankful to work with The Refuge Orphanage near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The orphanage was founded by a husband-and-wife team of Roger and Maria. Together they started preparing the property for children in 2005, and in 2007 they received their first orphan.
​
Roger and Maria are focused on getting to know the children and their strengths. Also, they want the children to have a wonderful education. If the children are not doing well in school, they explore other types of education for the children like trade schools. Whatever can be done to help the children to have an education/skill and become independent is great with Roger and Maria.
Chicken Coops Provide
Sustainable Food and Income
Building chicken coops will enable our partners in Honduras to become more sustainable by selling eggs, while also providing food and teaching responsibility to the orphans.
​
We have worked with several individuals and schools to help raise funds to build more coops along with supplies.
You can help us to provide supplies to build by donating today!
