CASA DE ESPERANZA
Donate
Partner with us to make life better for Hondurans.
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.
Your donations contribute directly towards:
Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere.
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.
L4,000
One month’s rent for a house. Home ownership is an unattainable goal for the majority of the country’s population.
L2,000
Bus and taxi fares, since not many Hondurans can afford to own a vehicle.
L2,000
Is left for food and other expenses, and food is more expensive than it in the US. A whole raw chicken is L100, yet ironically sugary Coca-Cola® is less expensive than clean, bottled water.
Because of a 40 percent interest rate, no one can afford to borrow money to pay for medical emergencies, home repairs, or other items we take for granted.
