Amigos of Honduras is a 501c-3 charitable organization. It was founded in 2005 solely because
of our desire to change the lives of families in Honduras. Amigos
is based in Centerville, Utah and is doing humanitarian work in
the Comayagua area of Honduras. Amigos is not affiliated with any church or religious organization.
Honduras is a beautiful, diverse country with very friendly people.
Many people there are in need of employment, help etc. many of
the economic problems have been compounded by the devastation
caused by hurricane Mitch. The department of Comayagua has 2/3
of its population living below the poverty line. Even more dramatic
is that about half live below the extreme poverty level.
Amigos has as its goal to make a difference and change lives
permanently in Honduras.
As of June 2008 we have completed two schools and two water projects in villages that weren't lucky enough to have potable water or a school. We also have a fully operational pig farm. All our projects are completed with Honduran engineers and labor. |
