More than half of Honduras' population are children, the majority of them living in poverty.
Destitution drives them to desperate measures such as trying to illegally emigrate where relatives may be; they often end up incarcerated in Guatemala or Mexico.
Please pray for the children ...
... they are the hope of a new generation.
Pepenadores, or garbage dump children are more prevalent in Honduras than any other country in the Americas.
Many children become "street children", often numbering in the thousands, who are then prone to 'extermination' by ruthless groups claiming social cleansing of that which is a nuisance.
Many of the above groups of children and others get swept up by organized crime and exploited as gang members and sex workers.
Pray for the children ...
