Food For The Poor began serving in Honduras in 1999, one year after the Central American country was slammed by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. There are currently 17 projects underway, including water development, aquaculture, animal husbandry, community development, sanitation, housing, and orphan support. The charity works very closely with its partner CEPUDO, which is based in San Pedro Sula, in order to reach those in need throughout the country.

• Food For The Poor has built 4,873 houses for the poor in Honduras. These sturdy homes provide shelter, safety and a brighter future for the poor.
• There are 10 aquaculture projects in different regions of the country. All are meant to provide a source of food for the residents, as well as offer a self-sustaining source of income for the communities. The aquaculture projects were done in conjunction with the Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund.
• Water is a critical need in Honduras. There are 21 water projects with the goal of supplying clean water through wells, filtration and other distribution systems.
• Twelve education projects are positioned with all ages covered – day care to technical high schools to training projects for women. The government has approved construction for one prefabricated school.
• Food For The Poor is helping with the care of 574 children currently in the 19 Food For The Poor-sponsored orphanages in the Angels Of Hope program.
• Several projects are geared toward production of other food products – chickens, goats, pigs and soy milk. These high-protein food sources are important in a population where malnutrition is a common threat.
