Important Update About the Tegucigalpa Market Children Program
After years of individual student sponsorships, we're making a difficult but necessary change. Our volunteers can no longer sustain the administration of individual student sponsorships with personalized certificates and photos. You can now sponsor students at a specific education level - primary, secondary or university - or make a general donation to support all the kids. You will receive a certificate of sponsorship with a group photo and you will still be able to dedicate your donation. Nothing else changes and the students will receive the same support they always have. We know some of you will be disappointed - we are too! Your support has always been the heart of this program and we're deeply grateful for your understanding and continued support as we make these changes.
Our goal this year is to sponsor 400 children. That means all the kids in the program now will be able to return in 2026, and we can replace any who graduated or have left at the end of 2025. It will also leave room for a few new kids. We hope we count on you to help reach our goal.
You can help us by making your donation before December 31st so program administrators can commit to students and their families before the start of the new school year. Thank you!
