Getting to School Was The Big Barrier

Before MDM Honduras began supporting children and families on the mountain, the average level of schooling was only third grade. Two decades later, through tireless work, much faith, and the commitment of hundreds of people, we are celebrating 100 high school graduates!

One hundred stories of perseverance and success, made possible by sponsors, tutors, and families, who worked together toward a single purpose: giving their children a ride, and a chance for a better future.

But that is not all. Within the next few months, we will reach another milestone: 10 college graduates! Ten stories of resilience, determination, and commitment to education and profesionalism, in a country where only 14% of high school students reach university, the vast majority of them from urban areas.

Next year, 25 MDM students will go to high school and 20 more students will continue their college journey.
