Honduras is a small peaceful Central American country nestled between Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. It is the second poorest country in this hemisphere with 70% of the population living in conditions of extreme poverty. Housing is primitive, healthcare almost non-existent and unemployment is massive.

The struggle for human survival is catastrophic. Hunger, sickness, malnutrition and neglect are an everyday reality and thousands of innocent children are found abandoned, orphaned or living in unthinkable conditions. For many it means a life of violence, prostitution, addiction, child labor and criminal activity. The cycle of poverty and crime often seems hopeless and the need for intervention and support most urgent.
