Help Children in Honduras

Honduras, together with El Salvador and Guatemala, is located in what鈥檚 called the Northern Triangle 鈥 one of the most dangerous places on earth. In fact, Honduras is notorious for having one of the world鈥檚 highest homicide rates, including a double-digit child homicide rate.

Officially the Republic of Honduras, the country is one of the least developed and most unstable countries in Latin America. Gang violence is commonplace. And wealth inequalities are extraordinarily high, with the highest rates of poverty among rural and indigenous people.

In recent years, this complex crisis of violence, brutal gangs and entrenched poverty has driven record numbers children and families to flee Honduras to seek safety and protection in the United States. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e hard at work for children 鈥 including those at risk in Honduras, those on the move, and those at the U.S. border.

Your support makes all our work possible for Honduran children in crisis.

Our Work for Children in Honduras

Since 1968, 黄色视频has been a leading charity for children in Honduras.

  • We鈥檙e working to increase the food security of families in coffee-producing areas by expanding access to and the availability of food, as well as increasing local health resources
  • We鈥檙e strengthening our capacity to address migration鈥檚 root causes, so that children and adolescents can thrive in the difficult contexts they live in
  • We鈥檙e reaching children and youth with peacebuilding and conflict prevention programs, such as our 鈥淪chools of Peace鈥 pilot project
  • We鈥檙e addressing gender-based discrimination and helping build equitable relationships
  • At the household level, we鈥檙e encouraging parents to practice positive discipline
  • We鈥檙e training civil society organizations and government officials on the prevention of trafficking and sexual exploitation
