Project Description

Region: Central America

Country: Honduras

Location: La Paz

Total Budget: $33,800

Areas of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment, Maternal and child health, Community economic development, The environment



Honduras faces significant environmental challenges, including rampant deforestation, soil degradation, food insecurity, and increased flooding risks due to climate change and unsustainable land practices. This project aims to establish a fruit tree nursery in La Paz Honduras, as a strategic solution to these pressing issues. The nursery will cultivate and distribute fruit bearing trees to be planted in deforested areas, providing dual benefits: ecological restoration and increased access to nutritious food for local communities. The project will directly benefit farmers, rural families, and indigenous communities by promoting agroforestry techniques that enhance both environmental resilience and food sovereignty.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
