Honduras Bordering Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, Honduras is oneof the poorest Spanish-speaking countries in the WesternHemisphere. In a nation of almost 10 million inhabitants, Hondurashas nearly 65% of its population living in poverty, with over 48%living below the poverty line. Poverty rates are higher among ruraland indigenous people as well as in the south, west and along theeastern border than in the north and central areas where most ofHonduras' industries and infrastructure are concentrated.Struggling with high levels of economic disparity, Hondurasranks among the worst 25 nations in the world for incomeinequality. The COVID-19 pandemic and the unprecedented impact of twosuccessive hurricanes in recent years significantly affectedHonduras’ economy, and its aftermath continues with thecountry’s GDP declining by 9%. Meanwhile, extreme povertyhas increased in rural areas since 2014 and in urban areas since2017. Food For The Poor (FFTP) began serving the poor peopleof Honduras in 1999, and works closely with our in-countrypartner CEPUDO (Capacitación, Educación, Producción,Unificación, Desarrollo y Organización) to implementinternational relief and economic development projectsthroughout all of Honduras.

Building Hope for Villa Fraternidad Poverty is a major issue in Honduras, with more than 60% of thepopulation living below the poverty line. Lack of employmentopportunities, limited access to education and healthcare, andinadequate living conditions all contribute to this problem. In themunicipality of Villanueva, families live in extreme poverty andstruggle to afford necessities such as food and medicine. This projectaims to transform the lives of 20 families by providing them withdecent housing.Our collective efforts will provide them with a secure and stable placeto live, improve their quality of life and promote social integration andcooperation within the family. Having a stable and secure place to callhome can also help impoverished families feel more secure andsettled, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their lives such aseducation, employment and personal relationships.Your support can make a significant impact on the lives of thesevulnerable families. Providing them with dignified housing will helpcreate a life-changing environment that boosts self-esteem, improveeducational outcomes and provide a renewed sense of hope for thefuture.Please join us in this mission to transform lives and help break thecycle of poverty in Honduras.

Testimonial Irma Yelile Banegas Euceda and her small children live indeplorable, unsafe housing conditions, which lack basic safety andhygiene standards. Their daily atmosphere causes extreme anxietyand fear, as they are constantly at risk of harm. “We have been looking for solutions for some time, but haveencountered many barriers and obstacles,” said Irma. “We cannotafford to pay high rents, nor do we have enough savings to buy ahouse. We feel trapped. We [worry] about our future and especiallythe future of our children. I would be very grateful to be consideredfor decent housing where my children will have a roof over theirheads and a welcoming home.” "I intend, therefore, to build a temple for the Nameof the LORD my God, as the LORD told my fatherDavid, when he said, ‘Your son whom I will put onthe throne in your place will build the temple for myName.’"1 Kings 5:5
