About HELP Honduras

Our Mission Statement

“Working with families in Honduras to improve education, health, and economic opportunity, enabling them to live more productive lives”

HELP Honduras children

The HELP Honduras Society is an organization registered in British Columbia, Canada.  It is approved as a charity by the Canada Revenue Agency and issues tax receipts for income tax purposes. Beneficiaries are the working poor in Honduras. Presently we are active in Tegucigalpa and surrounding communities, Comayagua, and  Santa Barbara.   The program is tailored to the local needs in each community.

Most members are Rotarians, and our partner organizations are Rotary Clubs, The Rotary Foundation, and AYO (Alternativas y Opportunidades).

HELP Honduras coordinates the preparation of global grant applications but grants are funded and administered by Rotary Clubs and the Rotary Foundation.

Alternativas Y Oportunidades (AYO) is a Honduran NGO (Non Government Organization) controlled by Rotarians from four Rotary Clubs in Tegucigalpa. HELP Honduras has an agency agreement with AYO which outlines the responsibilities of both partners in all programs.

Why Honduras?

Honduras is the second poorest country in the Americas. It is also one of the most violent, home of many drug gangs, both homegrown and driven from Mexico. We have six partner Rotary Clubs in Honduras with a track record of action and good stewardship. We believe that education is an inoculation against poverty.   Find out more about what we do by browsing “Our Projects”.
