Even though we are struggling with a changing world around us, the vulnerable children in Honduras are struggling even more so. The well-being of the children is our highest priority.
One staff person in Honduras had this to say: "The circumstances in Honduras are alarming for the children in our care. In an effort to contain the virus, the country has been in lock-down, including closing ports, stopping public transportation, and curfews enforced by police. Those found in violation of the curfew are arrested."
After an attempt to re-open non-essential businesses in June, the country was met with a wave of new Covid cases and was forced to lockdown again. The healthcare system is fragile, oversaturated, and collapsing.
The children and staff are facing many challenges. They lack personal protective equipment and appropriate technology for online learning. With the crisis in Honduras far from over, can you help us meet their basic needs?
