HONDURAS CHILDREN'S PROJECT

Honduras Children’s Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the education for the children of COPPROME Orphanage in El Progreso, Honduras by providing them with an educational after-school program and by supporting the public elementary school they attend.

OUR WORK AT COPPROME

Honduras Children’s Project staff at COPPROME Orphanage includes four teachers, three teaching assistants, and one administrator to work with our children in our school program. During the COVID pandemic we significantly upgraded the internet service so that our children could learn remotely. The internet service upgrade continues now that schools are in-person. We pay for our COPPROME staff members to attend nearby universities. We sponsor several children to attend a bilingual private school and a trade school. We purchase school supplies every 6 months and we support the local public schools many times with equipment and other classroom supplies. We maintain close ties with the children and our staff by visiting COPPROME three to four times a year.   

WE’RE ON THE GROUND IN HONDURAS

Honduras can be a challenging environment and at times is not for the faint of heart. However, there is more good in the world than bad and we see it first-hand every time we visit. We believe it is not enough to just send money to Honduras and hope for the best. We’re engaged and we visit the orphanage, the several schools our children attend –  shop with our teachers for school supplies and uniforms, take our kids on educational and recreational trips and much more. We typically visit the orphanage 3-4 times a year.
