Academic Scholarships
In Honduras, the percentage of children that are able to attend school is small and the chance that they graduate high school or attend college is even slimmer. Most families send their children to work at a young age to help support the family. As a family we have always been passionate about helping young children go to school, finish high school and obtain a college education.
In order to help fill this need, we have created a scholarship program where we identify young children who have exceptional academic potential and invest in their high school/college education.
Our scholarships are funded by generous donors and given in the loving memory of Lita, who was a strong champion for women and education.
