In Honduras, since 2003, ACCESO International has supported human rights and skills training, women’s rights workshops, orphanages, homework centres, primary schools, high schools, radio-based distance learning, bursaries for girls and women, as well as dormitories that enable students from remote villages to continue their studies beyond grade six.
The workshops and bursaries have been particularly impactful with hundreds of girls and women, benefiting from education and empowerment which has led not only to improved career opportunities, but also to them exercising impressive leadership in their quests towards gender equality, social justice and environmental protection.
… I would like to extend my gratitude to you at ACCESO International for the enormous help that I was given in the area of education. We are many youth who have received help from you … Now I am working as a teacher in a rural community and I am very proud and very happy to be able to work in this area because here there are few professionals in education, health, and well, in many aspects. Truly, thank you very much and I wish you blessings.

I began in the formation workshops on human rights and there developed my desire to continue studying. Thanks to each of you and the support you have given me, I have been able to finish my classes and am currently doing my required professional practice in psychology. I have a five-year-old daughter for whom I make great efforts to better myself and provide her opportunities for a better education. In the name of all the young Honduran women, I express my gratitude to each of you.
