Home location in Honduras

One hour from the nation's capital, Rancho Santa Fe is a thriving community. Over 430 boys and girls reside in this little village nestled among the hills of the Honduras countryside, while an additional 100 youths study and live in the capital, Tegucigalpa.

Sprinkled throughout the lovely pines at Rancho Santa Fe, the youngest residents, boys and girls seven years old and under, live in Casa Suyapa. On a hot summer day, a wading pool may be set up in its central courtyard and groups of little ones wait eagerly for their turn to jump in and splash around.

Unique to the Honduras family is Casa Pasionista, belonging to the order of Passionist Priests. Casa Pasionista is a hospice for adults who are living in the final stages of AIDS. Ailing parents can be with their children as their health deteriorates, comforted by the knowledge that after their death, the children will have a secure home with NPH.

Another special home is Casa Eva, where the grandparents live. They are elderly adults who had no family to care for them until they came to NPH. These elders make the large family more complete and are included in all the Ranch activities. The pequeños can often be found chatting or walking with the seniors.

The on-site education program consists of a Montessori pre-school through secondary school and seven vocational workshops where youths are certified in a trade. All of our homes' fixtures and furniture are made by our youths.

Casa de Los Ángeles, located in Tegucigalpa cares for over 15 children with severe disabilities. The children receive 24-hour care along with physical, occupational and speech therapy.
