SORP reference

Para 1.20 | 1. Provision of Food for students and families from economically challenged families. • 6000 food bags were given out to families. • Food was supplied to our three feeding centres to the continuing benefit of 700 children. • Eight Christmas dinner parties were provided for the benefit of 1200 children. • On two visits to the Lenca and Tolupan peoples food bags were taken, also biscuits and juice for the children, Together with fruit trees and seeds delivered on these 2 trips about 9000 people have been helped. 2. Education. • £10500 was spent on sponsoring 1500 Children which enables them to receive State education. • Five photocopiers have been supplied to small schools. During lockdown this was a great help to get school work to children and much appreciated by both children and teachers. 3. Basic Housing for economically challenged parents with children. • 16 houses were completed during the 2020/2021 year. 4. Horticulture. • 1643 fruit tree saplings were supplied in 2020/2021 for planting by these communities: The Lenca and the Tolupan peoples, villages around the Valle, also on the north coast and the outskirts of Tegucigalpa. • Seeds to the value of £2500 were supplied. 5. School Buildings. • A dining room has been built at the Buena Vista school. It has been fitted out with tables, chairs, plates and beakers. 6. Mask Kits • To help prevent the spread of the Covid virus, 1384 mask kits, apiece of soap andpouch of |
|
|---|---|---|---|
bleach were given out. The mask are of cloth so that they can be washed and re-used.
| 7. Hurricane Relief |
|---|
| • Two major hurricanes, Eta and Iota caused |
| severe flooding in the north of the country. We |
| helped through three ministries who we worked |
| closely with in the past. The money we provided |
| was used to buy food, small cooking stoves, 2 |
| water pumps, mattresses and initially drinking |
| water. |
| 8. Water Projects |
| • El Retiro. The 120 families living in Retiro lack |
| any water services because of the remoteness of |
| the village. We built an open covered area with |
| 10 washing pilas and enclosed a supply of spring |
| water from the ground. We also built 2 shower |
| cubicles for the ladies and a large tank for storing |
| and chlorinating drinking water. |
| • Lenca. The Lenca people, who live in Yarula, |
| live in the drought corridor which stretches |
| across parts of several Central American |
| countries. Rain is in scarce supply but there is a |
| nearby reservoir. They used to have a water tank |
| to store water from this reservoir but it was |
| beyond economical restoration. We organised |
| and supplied the materials for a new 20,000 litre |
| tank to be built. The new tank will provide |
| drinking water for some 1500 to 2000 families, |
| serving an estimated 7,500 to 10,000 people or |
| more. |
| • Pedrigal. We provided two water pumps and |
| many metres of hose pipe in order to allow land |
| to be brought into food production. 2021 was the |
| first harvest which was shared with the feeding |
| centre in Pedrigal (250-300 children) and the local |
| community (300-350 children). |
9. Benefit Summary. The last two years have been very difficult for so many in Honduras but we have managed to bring help and hope to many children and families.
