Life in one of the poorest, most vulnerable countries in the world
Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America and has one of the world's highest murder rates. More than half of the population lives in poverty and per capita income is one of the lowest in the region.
(CIA World Factbook)
Poverty
68.5% of households are subject to extreme poverty of incomes of less than $3.80 per day.
Economic Mobility
Honduras is a difficult place to establish businesses and jobs as proven by a World Bank report that ranks the country 115th out of 190 countries on the ease of doing business.
Employment
Un- and under-employment rates throughout Honduras are high at about 40% (2015 estimate, World Bank).
Can these problems be resolved?
The solution lies in the foundation.
The right foundation is right thinking, and right thinking is based on serving others instead of their own selfish desires. The plan of Professionals to the World is to establish the correct foundation in Honduras by doing four things:
2
Provide a Textbook on values and principles for the use of teachers in the public schools
3
Bring professionals to Honduras to set an example by sharing their experience and the reasons for their personal success
4
Promote a book to bring repentance in Honduran churches
