Many of our MFP's students are raised by a neighbor, or distant family member.
Approximately 150,000 children in the country are orphans as a result of political and economic instability.
Maras (gangs) often serve as a substitute family to children whose families have either fallen apart or have failed to provide love, respect and positive adult role models.
Child labor has also become a serious problem in Central American. According to the International Labor Organisation (ILO), around 10 percent of all children between the ages of 5 and 14 are involved in child labor activities. Most of these children do not attend school and consequently do not receive basic education.

An even bigger problem is the growing number of children who experience sexual exploitation. In the streets of Tegucigalpa, the country's capital, and in the city of Comayagüela, about 2,400 children are forced into prostitution. Although girls are especially at risk, the number of boys who experience sexual exploitation is on the rise.

Bad infrastructure is especially manifest in rural areas. Around 80 per cent of all Hondurans living in such areas do not have access to clean water and sanitation.

one in six Hondurans over the age of 15 cannot read and write.
