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: $1,518
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $96,191
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

100% pass-rate going into 2010

By Dom Williams - Director, December 28, 2009 10:54 AM

All our children in our 100% funded secondary school in Honduras passed the grade andc will continue on once the holidays are over in March 2010. Yet more children from 4 communities will also be joinig us for first-time secondary education bringing our total number of children up to 70. We may have to emply another teacher, bringing us to 4 teachers, which whilst increasing the wage-bill, improves the standard of education yet more.
Happy New Year and cheers
