| Since it’s conception the Mi Esperanza Project has continued to grow. We have given loans to over 50 women to begin a variety of small businesses. Tortilla making, small home and traveling stores, sewing businesses, peanut roasting are some of the businesses our participants have started. These businesses takes women from no income to providing adaquete food, clothing and shelter for their families. In some cases, like with Maria the “tortilla lady”, now has an employee and has an income that is equal to some doctors in Honduras. |  |

The Mi Esperanza Training Facility, centrally located in Tegucigalpa, is the heart beat of our training program. It is here students can receive training in sewing, computer, and cosmotology. With hands on classrooms and an on-site salon our instructors prepare our students to enter the work force, for many, for the the first time. All of our students and loan recipients also receive inner personal skills training to prepare them for owning a business or seeking employment. The facility will also house our future goals of a literacy program and pregnancy prevention education. | |
