In the coffee-growing region of Honduras in which our commitment is focused, children oftentimes stop attending school around 7th grade due to the distance that must be traveled to reach the nearest secondary education program. By committing to construct the first, full and complete secondary education classroom at La Escuela Jaime Martínez Guzmán, we will be increasing access to education and providing the children of this community with opportunities to learn beyond that of a primary education.
Update
June 2021
Despite the delays and challenges that surfaced as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are thrilled to report that construction on the secondary education classroom at La Escuela Jaime Martínez Guzmán is slated to begin by August 2021 and be completed by the end of the 2021 calendar year.
