Tutoring for children with learning disabilities in Honduras
Education is one of the most important levers for breaking out of the poverty spiral. This also applies to the children growing up in rural areas in Honduras. In the valley of Mata de Platano, nph has been operating a family center since 2020 and offers poor families their support in the areas of health, psychosocial support, support for children with disabilities – and education. A key offer is tutoring for primary school children and individual support for children with learning disabilities, reading support, and speech therapy. The parents, who often do not have a qualified education, are unable to support their children themselves. Without support, however, the children have no chance of graduating from school and no prospect of building a secure livelihood later on. This help is a vital investment in the children's future.
Who is nph?
nph (nuestros pequeños hermanos – our little brothers and sisters) was founded in 1954 by Father William Wasson in Mexico, with a vision to transform the lives of vulnerable children in need. Since 1984, nph Kinderhilfe Lateinamerika e. V. has operated out of Karlsruhe, Germany, extending support across nine Latin American countries.
Through its comprehensive, child-centered approach, nph provides life-changing opportunities for disadvantaged children and youth, empowering them to rise above extreme circumstances. By fostering growth in every aspect of a child's life, nph supports young people in becoming self-reliant, compassionate adults who give back to their communities and inspire positive change.
In its 70 years of service, nph has provided a safe home for 20,000 children and facilitated scholarships for more than 16,000 young people, guiding them towards a future of independence and self-determination.
