One Thousand Schools

Our mission is to alleviate extreme poverty and violence in Honduras through education and youth empowerment. We mobilize thousands of students in a massive and focused effort to empower orphaned and at-risk children in Honduras. We have collegiate and high school chapters at over 100 institutions and have sent over volunteers on service trips to El Progreso, Honduras. We are working to build 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 one of the most violent countries in the world.
