Home of Love and Hope:

Here, approximately 100 little childrenlive in a familyenvironment through sixth grade. They receive all the love that can be given, learn to pick up their lives and their pride and come to know a loving God. They learn to respect and live with others and adapt to discipline and school.

Upon graduation from sixth grade, children enter a middle school program where they continue their studies and growth. They can then choose to complete three more years of high school at one of our two schools for older children listed below. As of February 2007, El Hogar has added a program for young girls. Read more about this exciting change.


The Episcopal Agricultural School and Farm
:

After middle school, the children can choose to attend the Agricultural School to complete three more years of general education as well as training in agriculture and animal husbandry. At our farm school they learn the principles and practicalities of animal husbandry, and crop production, nuances of drip irrigation to conserve precious water, use of animal waste as manure, and composting techniques for a more productive farm in an area which earlier used slash-and-burn methods. The students share their newfound agricultural knowledge with family and rural neighbors, thereby enhancing individual farms and the community-at-large

St. Mary's Technical Institute:

Or, after middle school the boys can choose to attend our technical institute for three years of further education and training to become carpenters, welders, or electricians. The children are thus assured the skills needed to earn a living.

In 2007 we dedicated our new Technical Institute campus at its location in the Amarateca Valley, just outside of Tegucigalpa. Read more about the dedication here.
