Today Is Giving Tuesday!



When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Honduras, life for Hondurans completely changed – especially in the vulnerable neighborhoods where we work. For two years, Honduras has had their schools closed and have only provided some sort of virtual classes. Still, unfortunately, many students have received little to no instruction from their teachers through virtual classes, and others decided to drop out because of not having internet access. It is estimated that close to 2 million children have been left out of the school system and are now registered as dropouts.



Education officials have mentioned that there is a high possibility of children going back to school next year. We are so excited about this! At POINT, we know that education is the key to allowing our children to break out from cycles of poverty. That is why today November 30th, on #GivingTuesday we are asking you to join our Backpack Project.



Our Backpack Projectensures that each POINT child gets a backpack, school supplies, uniform, and shoes. This allows them to start their school year properly and prevents them from dropping out due to lack of access to those supplies.


Want to give something meaningful today? Donate $50 and help us provide tools for school readiness. Our goal is to reach 750 children, join us!
