Our Work is Transforming Lives!

A Lasting Difference!

Since 2017, KeHE Cares has joined with Compassion to help launch four child development centers (and soon to be six) in impoverished regions of Honduras. These centers are implementing Compassion's Child Sponsorship Program and thanks to the support of KeHE employees, the children now have access to nutritious meals, health care and educational assistance. What’s more, for every one child served, four family members are helped. By March 2022, the number of lives impacted by KeHE’s service is anticipated to be 6,750!

Honduras: The Ongoing Need

With more than 60 percent of its population living in poverty, Honduras is one of the least developed countries in Latin America, second only to Haiti. Less than half the country’s students finish secondary school, and many fall prey to gang culture and drug abuse.

Honduras

Second-poorest country in Latin America

Poverty

Nearly 65 percent of Hondurans live in poverty

Briefcase

High unemployment among eligible workers

Grief

One of the highest murder rates in the world

Education

High educational drop-out rates and grade repetition

Communities Where Our Impact is Spreading

The communities served by Compassion and KeHE share high rates of unemployment and poverty. Parents often provide for their families by working as day laborers or subsistence farmers. The communities are very small, with limited educational opportunities. The impact of a center serving 150-450 children is enormous for those families and the community as a whole.
