More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Children in remote rural areas in Honduras have little or no chance to attend secondary schools, which are only available in urban areas. By bringing secondary schools to the communities this problem is eradicated and the children receive further education.

Activities

Further education should not just be for those living in urban areas. This programme provides the same opportunities as everyone in rural areas. With very small contributions from families and graduates, the school will then become sustainable.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $327
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $97,383
Total Funding Goal: $97,710

Additional Documentation

This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Over the years this school will teach thousands. Because it will be run and funded by local communities in the future, it will also foster strong communities and ensure the indigenous populations are not swallowed up by development and ruralisation.

Project Message

Living in a rural area immediately nullifies the children's ability to go to secondary school in the towns, due to the large distances, denying them an education
- Carolina Rodas, Local Teacher

Latest Update from the Field

First year of secondary school

By Dom Williams - Director of Latin American Projects, August 06, 2008 06:08 PM

The children in our new secondary school, where we pay for the salaries of the teachers, have recently taken their mid-term exams, and the results seem to be good, which is a great step forward for the future. With 25 children between the ages of 12 and 24 receiving first-time secondary education now, the future looks good. In 2009 we plan to open up the school to surrounding villages and the numbers of students will rise dramatically.
