Life in Honduras | Your donations at work | Our dreams for tomorrow | |||||||

Life in Honduras is difficult. It is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere. For families caught in the jaws of poverty, there are no public resources available. Assistance is non-existent. Unlike here in the U.S., in Honduras, people born into poverty seldom escape a life of poverty. To be born into poverty is to live and die in poverty.
That is where Art For Humanity steps in. With your help, we are keeping children in school. Children in Honduras are not allowed to attend school barefooted. For this reason, we provide thousands of pairs of shoes to children who could not otherwise afford them. Art For Humanity is also creating new jobs by creating new businesses in Honduras. We are helping people to build homes. We provide vitamins to pregnant women and nursing mothers. In addition, we are preparing to build a clinic in a community of approximately 20,000 people, and we hope to attract a cadre of U.S. physicians, nurses, dentist, dieticians, etc. who collectively would provide medical services. This will be our first clinic. With your generosity, we will build many...[more info] |
 Because of your generosity, families who have been homeless since hurricane Mitch in 1998 are building a new home on a small parcel of land. The land is small, the house is very modest but it is theirs. In other parts of Honduras, families who have never had a home for the first time will have one.
 Your generosity allows Art For Humanity to send at least five tractor trailer loads of humanitarian goods to Honduras each year. These 40 foot containers are filled with all sorts of donated goods people like you provide…..used shoes, clothing, refrigerators, bicycles, microwaves, books, school supplies, etc. For Christmas, we hope to send at least one 40 foot container filled with used shoes that have been donated.
Hundreds of students from poor families are being provided the means of attending school. For some it is a pair of shoes; for others it is money for books; for others it is tuition. Public schools are not free. Tuition is required.  Your donations are at work in countless ways...[more info] |
The people of Honduras are kind and gentle and friendly people. We want to introduce a new future to the people of Honduras. We want to develop a series of schools which will provide and excellent education for children. These students would become the best educated people in Honduras, and they will learn honesty, honor, public service, national pride, business skills, responsibility and much more.
In this revitalized country of tomorrow, we want to create a 1000 new small family business. We want to help build a 1000 homes for a 1000 homeless families. A home will go a long way towards fostering stronger family life, a greater likelihood of children remaining in school, a healthier body, an investment in the community and a sense of empowerment. We want to support 100 good students from poor families to attend college in Honduras. The nation needs more educated people if it is to compete with its neighbors for the future that is coming. Now, this is only a dream. But, we are working diligently to have it become a reality. With your assistance, the dream of changed lives will become real... [more info] CFC #11701
