Grace Honduras is a nonprofit organization serving children and families living in extreme poverty and working in the municipal landfill of San Pedro Sula, providing education, daily meals, and a safe space to grow beyond survival. In this community, many families rely on informal waste collection as their primary source of income. Children are often exposed to long working hours, limited access t
o education, and high-risk conditions, perpetuating cycles of poverty. Grace Honduras exists to interrupt that cycle. We operate a school located directly at the entrance of the landfill, providing consistent access to education, daily meals, and a safe environment for children who would otherwise be excluded from the formal system. Our work focuses on five areas:
Intellectual:
We serve 121 students (2026) from early childhood (Pre-K) through 9th grade, and provide flexible learning programs for adolescents and adults who have never attended school. Physical:
We support children’s health through daily nutrition and access to basic medical and dental care in partnership with local providers. Emotional:
We provide psychological and psycho-pedagogical support, including crisis intervention, individual and family counseling, and structured activities that strengthen self-esteem and reduce vulnerability to gang recruitment. Spiritual:
We teach values grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ, fostering identity, purpose, and moral development. Family:
We work with families through housing support, legal identity processes (birth registration), and basic monthly assistance, aiming to strengthen long-term stability.
