Detailed Description: Honduras Relief Effort Inc. is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1999 by Central Florida Hondurans after Hurricane Mitch devastated the country of Honduras. We are the only relief organization that is run by native Hondurans now living in the United States. We are dedicated to helping the people of Honduras through volunteer medical missions and child sponsorships.

We are dedicated to helping the impoverished people of Honduras through donations from concerned businesses and individuals.

Honduras Relief Efforts, Inc is in partnership with CEVE and organization of dedicated Hondurans, who assist poor youth in their country. CEVE community has a proven track record of caring of over 1600 children. addressing the economic, social spiritual, educational and physical development of children with compassion and integrity.

Benefits of sponsoring a child for $20/month:

- Each child that is sponsored gets free medical care.

- There is educational support for younger kids, and an after school vocational training program for the older kids.

- Through the generosity of others, we managed to get several sewing machines donated, some of the older kids learned to use them, and now they are making money sewing and selling colorful backpacks.

- There is also a working farm program. As kids get older several have been able to go to college, primarily to become teachers.

- The parents of every child in the sponsorship program must agree to participate in the program on a regular basis either by donating time or attending a literacy and/or skills training programs.

This is a really wonderful grassroots program that was started and run entirely by Hondurans. This program not only gives to the people in the present, it also prepares them to improve their lifestyle and quality of life.
