About Us

Our Mission Statement
"Working with families in Honduras to improve education, health, and economic opportunity, enabling them to live more productive lives."
Our Story
HELP Honduras is a non-profit society registered in British Columbia, Canada, approved by the Canada Revenue Agency to issue receipts for income tax purposes. Beneficiaries are the working poor in Honduras.
The Society was first formed to provide scholarships and support to the working poor in the markets of Tegucigalpa. We call it "The Market Children Program".
As we developed a deeper understanding of the challenges facing Honduras and formed reliable partnerships with Honduran Rotary Clubs, we expanded our work to support Rotary Clubs and major private donors in their work in areas of health, education and economic development in Honduras.
We now coordinate projects in Tegucigalpa, Comayagua and Santa Barbara, mostly funded by Rotary Clubs and the Rotary Foundation, but special arrangements can be made to accept private donations for projects through HELP Honduras.
Why Honduras?
Honduras is one of the poorest country in the Americas. It has a population of 10.6 million, 66% of whom live below the poverty line. Only 40% of the population go beyond Grade 6, and only 12% graduate high school.
The country suffers from corrupt government, gang violence, high murder and extortion rates, and is a major source of illegal migrants to the USA.
