Honduras

Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Over 60 per cent of the population live in poverty. Recurring droughts caused by climate change are exacerbating the already tense food situation in the country. Poverty and environmental crises are forcing many people to migrate, often without any secure prospects.

We advocate for the rights of migrants in Honduras. In collaboration with partner organisations, we empower local migration committees and self-help groups to mitigate the adverse effects of labour migration. We support returnees, provide healthcare for migrants and protect them against human rights violations.

Solidary families and opportunities for further education

Many migrants from South and Central America pass through Honduras and Guatemala on their way to Mexico or the US. These people often experience human rights abuses, exploitation and violence. We work with local partners to defend the rights of migrants in Guatemala and Honduras.

Future opportunities for returnees in Honduras

Honduras is one of the Latin American countries from which most people emigrate to Mexico and the USA. Many young Hondurans return home traumatised and with no prospects for the future. Together with our partner CASM (Comisión de Acción Social Menonita), we are working to give them a better future.
