Hope for the Children of Haiti, 21 Cummings Park, Ste 278, Woburn, MA 01801, US

There are two organizations that are referred to as El Hogar. The first is El Hogar Projects. This is the school and orphanage located in Tegucigalpa, Honduras which was founded in 1979. The second is El Hogar Ministries, Inc This non-profit organization is located in Massachusetts and provides support and assistance to El Hogar Projects in numerous ways. Together, these two organizations work to serve the poor of Honduras. The mission of El Hogar Projects is to provide a loving home and education in a Christian environment for abandoned, orphaned and hopelessly poor children, enabling them to fulfill their ultimate potential as productive human beings in Honduras. El Hogar Projects is a mission project of the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras under the leadership of The Right Rev. Lloyd Allen. The mission of El Hogar Ministries, Inc is to assist in the improvement of social and educational conditions in Honduras, principally by supporting El Hogar Projects. El Hogar Ministries, Inc raises funds and maintains an office for coordination and communication with North American sponsors, contributors and church outreach groups which form a sacred community of service and are the backbone of financial support for the 250 children at the three schools and homes of El Hogar Projects To view El Hogar Ministries' financials, click one of the links which follow: El Hogar Ministries, Inc Form 990 is our filing for the most recent fiscal year ( our fiscal year ends on October 31 ). While all of our fundraising and administrative expenses are reported, the revenues presented are those derived from the US only. El Hogar Ministries, Inc Financial Highlights recaps five years of financial results, including funds directed to El Hogar Projects in Honduras from all of North America. As a result, the Financial Highlights accounts more accurately for the portion of total contributions which support our mission in Honduras directly -- approximately 90%, a number which we are pleased to report! Honduras is the poorest country in the Americas. With an illiteracy rate of 25%, an unemployment rate hovering at 30%, and more than half the population living below the poverty line, it is difficult for Hondurans to even imagine a better life, much less create one. Many children literally live on the streets. In the face of desperate poverty where over half the population lives on two dollars a day, children who should be in school are on the streets. The families they come from can no longer feed, clothe, or educate them. Their homes, little more than cardboard and tin pieced together, offer no space, no running water, and little hope of a future. Sniffing glue relieves their hunger pangs, while simultaneously destroying brain cells. Begging and stealing become the means to survive. Teenage gangs offer a sense of belonging. This is childhood for many in Honduras. This is the face of poverty.
