More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Children in remote rural areas in Honduras have little or no chance to attend secondary schools, which are only available in urban areas. By bringing secondary schools to the communities this problem is eradicated and the children receive further education.

Activities

Further education should not just be for those living in urban areas. This programme provides the same opportunities as everyone in rural areas. With very small contributions from families and graduates, the school will then become sustainable.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $731
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $96,979
Total Funding Goal: $97,710

Additional Documentation

This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Over the years this school will teach thousands. Because it will be run and funded by local communities in the future, it will also foster strong communities and ensure the indigenous populations are not swallowed up by development and ruralisation.

Project Message

Living in a rural area immediately nullifies the children's ability to go to secondary school in the towns, due to the large distances, denying them an education
- Carolina Rodas, Local Teacher

Latest Update from the Field

Charity Challenge

By Dom - Director, November 19, 2009 04:47 PM

Greetings. Our school in Honduras is coming to the end of the second year and the children's results have been superb. To start fundraising for next year, I will be embarking on a Charity Challenge this weekend, climbing 4 volcanoes in 6 days, so please, if you can, spare a penny or two to help raise funds for such a good cause.
cheers
