Projects

SHH will be opening the Villa Soleada Children’s Home in 2011. The project will provide shelter, food, education and a loving family to the orphaned and abandoned children in northern Honduras. We hope to raise the funds to finish the second home which will house up to twelve children. Donate to this project.

Las Flores elementary and middle school was founded in the 1960's in the deep banana fields of El Progreso. It serves more than 300 children from 7 surrounding villages. In response to the increase in the number of students recently, the families organized bake sales and penny drives to build four provisional classrooms. They hope to build walls for these open air classrooms to protect the children from rain, noise and gang members in the area. Las Flores is also hoping to build three new classrooms for the middle school. Donate to this project.

The Rio Chiquito Elementary School has been in operation since 2000. Six teachers serve 134 children in just two classrooms. With an increasing population in the area, Rio Chiquito is hoping to build 3 to 4 additional classrooms and refurbish the existing classrooms. Donate to this project.

La Nunez elementary school has been in operation since 1998. Today, six teachers serve 150 children. Their current 3-classroom structure is made of rotting wood and tin. Their goal is to build a 3 classroom cinder block school. The families are extremely organized and have raised the funds to pay for a skilled mason to help with the construction. Donate to this project.

The families of Unidos Venceremos came together in 2007 to build a provisional, one-classroom school to educate their children. The name of the school translates to “United, we will achieve”. One teacher provides education to 30 children of all ages and grades. The growing community hopes to upgrade the school into a cinder block facility with a bathroom that will recycle rain water. Donate to this project.
