Want to make a big difference, and maybe a house or two?

The lack of travellers to Honduras is surprising given the warm welcome you get from the people and the dramatic natural scenery. Everyone else’s loss is your gain though, as you explore this gem unhampered by the hordes. The building projects in La Esperanza help people to literally make a better future for themselves and their families by building homes and schools in some of the country’s poorest communities. These are real hands-on projects where you help with everything from making sun dried bricks, to painting outside walls. You’ll know it’s worth it though, when you see a family move into the house you built and students attending their first day in their new school.
