The Problem

Honduras is the second poorest country in Central America, and one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. 62.8% of all Hondurans live in extreme poverty.

An estimated 170,000 children are orphaned in Honduras.

There are nearly 21,000 new cases of children in crisis each year.

Only 43% of Honduran children enrolled in primary school complete the 6th grade. Only 30% will go on to secondary school, and 8% will continue on to college. 

Our Response

Orphan Outreach responds to the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in Honduras in 3 ways:

Working with government agencies and other organizations, we advocate for best practices and policies that directly affect the quality of care of children.

We invest in community outreach programs that strengthen and preserve families in high-risk, impoverished areas. These programs provide nutritious meals, access to Christian education, quality counseling and mentoring, and urgently needed medical care.

We look for innovative ways to better serve the best interest of orphaned and vulnerable children, including family-based care, foster care, kinship care, and adoption support.

Aging Out Program, San Pedro Sula

The Aging Out Program in Honduras provides a safety net of support to young adults who have aged out of traditional residential or foster care in the country. These young adults often face significant challenges, including gaps in their education, inadequate life skills, complex trauma with insufficient mental health support, limited employment opportunities, and discrimination because of the stigma of that comes with being an orphan or former ward of the state. Each young adult in the program is provided ongoing support and guidance to help them navigate the complexities of education, employment, life skills, relationships, housing, and food.
