Honduras, together with El Salvador and Guatemala, is located in what’s called the Northern Triangle – one of the most dangerous places on earth. In fact, Honduras is notorious for having one of the world’s highest homicide rates, including a double-digit child homicide rate.
Officially the Republic of Honduras, the country is one of the least developed and most unstable countries in Latin America. Gang violence is commonplace. And wealth inequalities are extraordinarily high, with the highest rates of poverty among rural and indigenous people.
In recent years, this complex crisis of violence, brutal gangs and entrenched poverty has driven record numbers children and families to flee Honduras to seek safety and protection in the United States. That’s why we’re hard at work for children – including those at risk in Honduras, those on the move, and those at the U.S. border.
Your support makes all our work possible for Honduran children in crisis.
