Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

due to the great need in the poorest
families. Hondurans were still
struggling after the extended Covid
lockdowns in the 2nd half of 2022].
Fuel and delivery costs were
additional.
•
At Macuelizo School, due to the great
need of these children, we support
the dining room so that they can
provide meals three days a week. This
meets the nutritional needs of the
children furthering good attendance.
•
Each month food is provided to the
two feeding centres we support, one
in Pedrigal and the other in La Ceiba,
on the north coast. £800 per month.

College near the capital, Tegucigalpa.

provided for 1870 children.

•
Nearly 3000 children were sponsored
allowing them to attend school. This
sponsorship allows the each child to
access the state schools. This sponsorship
provides: the exercise books, pens,
crayons etc. without which these children
would not be able to attend state
schooling and is thus very good value for
money.

the year. In the Valle area.
