Casa de Esperanza is entirely run by volunteers. We intentionally keep our overhead costs low to funnel as much money to our cause as possible. That is why 97% of your contribution goes directly to fund our programs and services in Honduras.
The average monthly salary is below L8,500 (Lempiras) which equates $352 American dollars. It’s not a lot, considering the basic budget shown to here.
One month’s rent for a house. Home ownership is an unattainable goal for the majority of the country’s population.
Bus and taxi fares, since not many Hondurans can afford to own a vehicle.

Your dollars can go further in providing relief in Honduras. There is a saying there, “el dólar rinde más en Honduras,” meaning “you can wring more out of a dollar in Honduras.”
