In the places Raw Hope works...

  • Access to social services is very difficult, or non-existent
  • Hospitals are often over-crowded and physically hard to reach by bus or walking
  • NGOs and local organisations are often first responders to a crisis

Join Rafa for a short Friday drive through Honduras

As team member, Rafa, explains in the video, Gabriel’s story is an example of how funds are redistributed in response to emergency situations.

As soon as the Raw Hope Honduras team was made aware of Gabriel’s accident and the severity of his injuries, they were able to respond immediately and give Gabriel the medical attention and resources he needed.

In dangerous places, everyday is different, emergencies happen and the needs of the people we help shift. Our programs are designed to ensure that we can respond to ‘in an instant’ moments like Gabriel’s.

Your gifts go around the world and impact the lives of children and families in local communities.

Honduras

Honduras has a long history of political upheaval and organised crime. San Pedro Sula, the second largest city of Honduras, has the most murders per capita of any cities in the world. It is highly dangerous making it a perfect location for one of our three feature pilot programs. In our San Pedro Sula project we are creating safe spaces for children and teenagers. Our programs provide opportunities for learning, both educational and vocational training. We also ensure children participate in classes that ensure they know their worth and rights.

  • Gang violence, drug wars, and child labor are commonplace in many neighbourhoods

  • Honduras is the poorest country in Latin America

  • Millions of Hondurans have fled the country in the past few years; in fact, the so-called Central American 'migrant caravan' is widely considered to begin in San Pedro Sula. Many of those fleeing are women and children who fear rape, kidnapping and murder, and therefore they rather embark on a long and perilous journey.
