Statics

Here is some info to take in.................

In a population of nearly seven million, 66 percent live in poverty, many in extreme misery, especially the indigenous people, women, children and the elderly.

~ Approximately 25,000 children suffer from chronic malnutrition and 36 of every 1000 children die from diarrhea each year.

~ One-fifth of the population cannot read or write.

~ And, only 21 percent of Honduran children finish primary school and a mere four percent have access to a high school education.

Thank you to each and everyone of you who have helped us make a difference and are continuing to help make a difference here at Casa de Esperanza. Those could have been our kids in the statics from dying of diarrhea each year.
