Mi Esperanza continues to seek ways to serve the women of Honduras. We feel strongly satellite classes are one of those ways in which we can serve a larger number of women. The satellite program eliminates such obstacles as child care and bus fare and allows more women to learn a skill and give means to break the cycle of poverty.

If your a girl you know how fun it is to spend the day at the spa and how great you feel with new hair, great nails and pampered feet. So what better way for a group of beauty students to give “Mi Esperanza HOPE” than to visit a local orphanage and spend the day offering hair cuts and manis & pedis to teenage girls!
The Mi Esperanza Store opens in Honduras
Posted Oct 24 2009
In May of 2009 the staff of Mi Esperanza opened a store to service the growing number of visitors and groups that are interested in our program and products. The purpose of the store concept is to raise funds to support the programs Mi Esperanza provides to women living in poverty and to employee sewing school graduates. The Mi Esperanza store is located at the city center facility in Tegucigalpa. The store allows visitors to visit our program and then shop for gifts and souvenirs. Everyone loves shopping knowing that their money is going to help women receive a free education. All the textile products in the store are made by Mi Esperanza women. We also offer the very popular Lenca Indian Pottery to our guests and use a cooperative of Lenca women in Magu for the pieces we sell. Lenca pottery is a ancient tradition of Honduras.
Next time you are in Honduras stop by, but in the mean time visit the on-line store.
