HONDURAS - El Hogar de Amor y Esperanza
    
     The mission of El Hogar is to transform and empower abandoned, hopelessly poor children in Honduras by providing a loving home and education.  The goal is for them to fulfill their ultimate potential as productive, caring and independent Honduran citizens.
 
     At El Hogar, the most desperate children – the ones on the streets, the ones without enough to eat, the ones at most risk – are found and given a path to a better future through love, support, and tools to for a better life. One child at a time, we are planting the seeds of hope for a new, more prosperous Honduras.

Founded in 1979  by members of the local Episcopal Church, El Hogar de Amor y Esperanza – The Home of Love and Hope – now serves over 200 boys and girls providing a home and education including both academic and practical training.
