Honduras

Description
​​The Central Florida Honduras Commission supports the long term goal of the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras as they move away from the legacy of dependency with a focus on sustainability through the support of micro-enterprise at each parish. Examples include parishes that currently sustain themselves with bakeries, cinder block factories, sewing centers that make saleable goods and the resale of water from clean source wells. In the small number of churches where micro-enterprise has been established, the people have gained self-esteem and a sense of worth and value as they’ve been enabled to give back to their church, their families and their community. They are experiencing God’s provision as they step out in faith to do for themselves and others through this never dreamed of before opportunity. 
Knowing that sustainable development is participatory and that it cannot succeed unless the people involved actively participate in and support the process, the Commission offers training in Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) . To the extent possible, participation means involvement of all interest groups in all relevant aspects of developing, identifying, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating all development endeavors. This equips people to assume responsibility for their own future and the well-being of the communities of the church.
Financial sustainability is related to the capacity to create long term, not band aid, stability or security for sustainable development initiatives. In the case of income-generating initiatives, clear business plans are critical tools for insuring success.
​The Honduran women are very excited with their projects, which are helping their lives by motivating them, giving them hope, enabling them to feel useful, while granting the possibility of covering their needs with the income they make.  They are all very thankful and want to tithe to their churches, because they know it is the Lord who has brought this hope to empower them to be successful women.
​How to Contribute
Support the Honduras Development Network – Developing Honduras that Change Lives
A U.S. based non-profit 501C(3) created to support the efforts of the Diocese of Honduras’ mission of developing Honduras spiritually, socially and economically. In support of this mission, the Right Reverend Lloyd Emmanuel Allen, Bishop of Honduras, believes that the Diocese of Honduras must continue to ‘walk away from its history of dependency’. His vision is to strengthen the infrastructure of the diocese and to move the churches to a self-sustaining position by investing human capital and spiritual capital to focus on sustainable programs. Anglican Honduras Hope is assisting in the development and implementation of these programs, both in the U.S. and in Honduras.

Support El Hogar - The Home of Love and Hope
El Hogar de Amor Y Esperanza in Tegucigalpa, Honduras is a project that rescues children from a life of hunger and desperation on the streets of Honduras. It enables them to break the cycle of poverty and unemployment by providing them with a home, a nurturing environment, and an education. Upon graduation from sixth grade, our boys can choose to attend vocational training at St. Mary’s Technical Institute to become licensed carpenters, welders, or electricians.  Or they may continue their education at the Agricultural School and Farm for training in crop management or animal husbandry.
The girls from El Hogar now have their own home and are attending the local public school a short distance from Tegucigalpa. Upon graduation from middle school, we are planning to house the girls in a separate location and provide education and vocational training for them in areas of employment for young women in Honduras.
Individuals, churches or several people have the opportunity to make a difference forever in a child’s life by supporting a child.
  • Sponsor a Child: $1500 per year or $125 a month  
  • Sponsor a Child with Housing, Food, Healthcare and Clothing:  $900 per year or $75 a month
  • Sponsor a Child with an Education: $600 per year or $50 a month
​Make a loose offering on Mission Sunday (the first Sunday of any month) which will be part of Christ the King's overall Outreach, provide a check made out to Christ the King ​with Honduras Homes in the Memo line with the funds ​to be forwarded from the church.
