What we need

  • School supplies and books
  • Funds for educational support
  • Monthly partners who help supply clothes, shoes, and transportation for children in poverty

What we need

  • Clean clothing in good condition
  • Funds for shipping
  • Volunteers to sort and pack

Field photographs from Lenca communities in Honduras. Some families still gather under the trees because they have no church building. Others wash clothes on a stone, use latrines that are failing, and live under ruined roofs without electric service. We are replacing latrines and repairing homes with block, mortar, and timber.
