Mission Statement
Our mission is to end extreme poverty and violence in Honduras through education and youth empowerment.
Description
SHH is working to build 1000 schools in villages across Honduras. In addition to school construction, SHH also runs a bilingual elementary school, 2 homes for orphaned and abandoned boys and girls, a college scholarship program and a village project called Villa Soleada. Villa consists of 44 homes with various community projects within. Through youth empowerment and education we believe we can reduce both poverty and violence in the most dangerous country in the world.
SHH has a network of nearly 100 College and High school chapters in the U.S volunteers come from across the country for 8-day service trips where they work alongside the community to start school constuction projects.
