Nuevo Paraiso

Nuevo Paraiso / Nuevo Paraiso is a special place where children are provided with food, clothing and housing in a caring and loving atmosphere. It is here they grow strong and confident, getting the education and practical skills they need to become productive citizens of Honduras. Most importantly, we provide someone to look after them - to love them and give them a chance to realize a better future. Monthly donors enable this safety net; if you`d like to sponsor a child email us at info@honduranchildren.com
Flor Azul Boys Community

Flor Azul Boys Community / Honduran boys often migrate to cities in a desperate search of a better future. Once there, unemployment, hunger, disease, drugs, and gangs await them. In response to extreme poverty, lack of opportunities and labour exploitation, the Flor Azul Boys Community was founded as an oasis for impoverished, neglected, or abandoned boys. A working farm and residential school, Flor Azul is a secure place for learning and building self-esteem.

Snapshots from Building Brigades / Building Brigades of adults and students travel to Honduras to construct houses, schools & community centres, and to improve facilities for the children. Volunteers come from all walks of life and often have little or no construction background. In addition to new construction, time is spent on village improvements & outreach projects in remote locations, as well as interacting with the children at our sponsored villages.

Medical Brigades provide free health care to the country`s most vulnerable. Teaching prevention & healthier lifestyles are a key part of making a sustainable difference. Since its inception, well over 100,000 Hondurans have received medical attention and over $1,000,000 in medicines have been dispersed.

Change begins with me. #volunteers
We completely agree! And one way to do this is to get involved in one of our brigades! Or another great way to send love is to become a sponsor! Find out how by going to our website: www.honduranchildren.com

The next best thing to a hug?

Outlawing, and where outlawed, enforcing bans against marrying off young girls will result in many benefits for everyone, men and women alike.
