Honduras Relief Efforts Inc

What Honduras Relief Efforts Inc does

Honduras Relief Efforts Inc. is a small U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 59-3547606) founded in 1998 by Central Florida Hondurans following Hurricane Mitch and headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The organization runs two core programs: a Child Sponsorship Program at $20 per month (with optional higher amounts) that funds school attendance, supplies, and food for individual children in rural Honduras, and Volunteer Medical Missions executed through a long-standing partnership with Brigada de Salud under Dr. Nancy Crigger of Graceland University. Complementary revenue and program lines include one-time and recurring monetary donations, a Christmas Package Shipping offering at $185 per box, and ad-hoc emergency hurricane-relief activations (most recently in response to Hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020).

The organization does not operate proprietary technology; outreach is conducted through a WordPress-hosted website (hondurasre.org), email, and word-of-mouth referrals, and distributions are carried out via periodic in-person trips to Honduras by co-leaders Louis Adams (President) and Nina. On the ground, distributions use local church facilities as free stores, host-volunteer homes as dispatch points, and approximately 15 home visits per trip to reach immobile beneficiaries — the December 2022 trip served 56 sponsored children plus approximately 70 additional families and 15-20 elderly recipients. Operating geographies are the United States (donor base) and Honduras (program delivery), with no disclosed subsidiaries, institutional funding, or M&A activity.

Products and services

• Child Sponsorship Program Recurring sponsorship program allowing donors to support an impoverished child in Honduras with $20 per month (or any chosen amount), covering school attendance, school supplies, and food to help the child remain in school. Targeted at individual sponsors and families in the U.S. who want a direct, identifiable giving relationship with a beneficiary child.
• Volunteer Medical Missions Medical mission program that delivers healthcare services to rural Honduran villages through a collaboration with Brigada de Salud — physicians, nursing professors, nursing students, and volunteers — under the leadership of Dr. Nancy Crigger of Graceland University. Provides clinical care and health education to impoverished rural communities that lack regular healthcare access.
• Direct Material Aid Distribution Periodic in-person distributions in Honduras delivering food, clothing, shoes (over 150 pairs distributed in Dec 2022), school supplies, vitamins, over-the-counter medicines, household goods (computers, phones, beds, televisions), and direct monetary assistance to sponsored children, families, and elderly recipients. Distribution uses local churches as free stores, volunteer homes, and approximately 15 home visits per trip for recipients who cannot travel.
• Christmas Package Shipping Seasonal Christmas package offering at $185.00 per box that ships gifts, food, and essential items to sponsored children and families in Honduras, providing a tangible holiday aid item for donors to fund.
