Stories from Honduras

Real people, real change

The people and projects your support reaches — microloan businesses, clinics, scholarships, and more.

Doally Melgar — “Doa Letters”

Doally turned a lockdown hobby into a real business — personalized planners, mugs, and gifts. A ~$400 loan let her stock up for her busy December season, and she is repaying ahead of schedule while finishing a marketing degree.

A $400 loan, repaid ahead of schedule — and a growing business.

Alvaro & Karlita Bautista

A 2007 loan started Alvaro and Karlita with a stall just four by ten feet. Today it is a thriving lawn-equipment store — mowers, trimmers, small tractors, plus parts and repair. A picture of long-term impact.

From a 4×10-ft stall in 2007 to a thriving store today.

The newly built teal health clinic in Las Conchitas, nearly ready to open.

Las Conchitas Health Clinic

Built by a U.S. team and finished by a Honduran crew, the Las Conchitas clinic is nearly open near Lake Yojoa. The Society builds the building; the government provides the doctors, nurses, and equipment.

Built by the Society — and soon serving about 2,000 patients a week.

Special-Needs School, Siguatepeque

At a charitable special-needs school the public system can’t fund, donors covered all 30 scholarships this year — alongside the Society’s help building fixtures, painting classrooms, and paying tuition.

Donors funded all 30 scholarships this year.

Sanitary Units, Taulabé

For about $750, a poor family gets a complete sanitary unit — toilet, shower, and pila on a concrete slab — and the government then connects them to water and sewer for free.

About $750 changes a family’s daily life.

Dialysis Clinic, Taulabé

The flagship specialty project: a two-floor dialysis clinic, designed for community pricing. A U.S. team laid more than 1,000 blocks in nine days; a Honduran crew is carrying it forward.

A two-floor clinic designed for about 120 patients a day.

Jairo

In Siguatepeque, Jairo runs a small cafeteria on the campus of a nonprofit school and clinic — a steady business serving students and staff.
