Upcoming Event: Mae Valenzuela and the Canadian Premier of "With This Light"
Wednesday, May 3 • 7:00 PM
Friends of Honduran Children presents the Canadian premier of the documentary film “With This Light”. During her 70 years as a nun, Sister Maria Rosa Leggol helped over 87,000 Honduran children escape poverty and violence through an ecosystem of social, educational and entrepreneurial projects, inspiring an international network of supporters to expand her work. This evening will also welcome Mae Valenzuela whose life work has been to connect people to the children in the orphanages in Honduras. Mae will speak about her work in Honduras.
Our mission is simple
Improve the lives of Honduran children by supporting basic needs and empowering them to break the cycle of desperate poverty.
Our efforts create results
By investing in sustainable programs rather than band-aid solutions, we’re helping them transform themselves – from victims of poverty to self-sufficient members of society.
Join a Brigade
Do real work on the ground in Honduras. We specialize in sending volunteer medical, dental and building brigades where their services are desperately needed.
Sponsor a Child
Make a real difference with as little as $40/month to support a child living in poverty, and set them on a path to supporting themselves.
Make a Donation
Fight the cycle of poverty and crime with a donation in support of the thousands of abandoned, impoverished and orphaned children of Honduras.
We can’t change the world, but in this little part we can make a difference
