The greater population of Honduras lives in conditions of extreme poverty. Children are often malnourished and required to work for their subsistence. The situation is even more critical in rural areas where young people drop out of school to work in the fields. After floods and droughts plague the harvests, young people often migrate to cities in search of a better future. In the cities unemployment, hunger, disease, drugs, and gangs await them. Flor Azul began in 2004 as a farming community for underserved, neglected or abandoned teenage boys. The Flor Azul project is currently mentoring 80 boys; providing each with life skills, agricultural training and elementary and high school educations. They are hard-working and loving boys with a big dream and the ambition to achieve it.
