Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to empower underserved youth in Honduras by equipping them with comprehensive technical education, language proficiency, and computer skills, facilitating their entry into the modern workforce and fostering a sustainable, green economy.
Our vision is to cultivate a future where every young individual in our community, regardless of their background, has access to quality technical education, enabling them to become skilled professionals driving innovation, sustainability, and prosperity within their communities and beyond.
Where We Work
We’re based in the city of El Progreso, located in the Yoro department of Honduras.
Currently, our Pilot Program is being hosted at Instituto Perla del Ulua, the public high school in El Progreso city.
Our Programs
We’ve launched our first project, an eight-month English language Pilot Program for high school seniors!
Thanks to the success of the ongoing Pilot Program, we’re moving forward with preparations for our long-term project, the Smart Tech School. This three-year intensive will equip students with the English language and computer literacy skills needed to confidently enter the workforce.
