ABOUT US
Project School Supplies is not a registered non-profit organization in the US or Honduras. This allows us to use our time and energy more directly on serving the communities with as little as possible wasted on administrative costs.
97% of our funds raised go directly toward actual project costs and all labor for building projects is provided voluntarily by villagers.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Thanks to your donations, Project School Supplies has evolved into much more than supplying schools with educational materials and building improvements. Here’s what has been achieved to date:
-
– Set up a dental hygiene program including workshops and donations of over 750 toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste
– Set up a building block program where we get scraps of wood are donated from local carpenters, youth from financially challenged families are paid to sand them and the blocks are then donated to the village kindergartens.
– Built a house and started a garden for 3 orphaned children whose mud house recently collapsed.
– Repaired and restored more than 17 village schools with such aid as putting on roofs than had blown apart in storms, building pilas (water storage units) , installing bathrooms, painting walls, putting in electricity and repairing window screens
– Supplied more than 20 schools with didactic materials, games, paper and general supplies
– Started a 4 month vitamin pilot project in a distressed village school.
– Started a scholarship fund for children with good grades who need school supplies
– Started a visiting doctor program in El Chilar village, who will come in once a week to examine the children in the school and give out necessary donated medicines.
– Bought school uniforms for more than 25 children to enable them to attend school
– Coordinated a nutrition and vegetable garden program in various impoverished communities
– Started an emergency grocery delivery program for families in urgent need
– Adopted 2 street dogs named Betty and Freddy
