Program Details

Context

The Cerro de Plata (sero de plah-tah) community is located on the fringe of Honduras capital, Tegucigalpa. People here live in what is known as a "shanty town;" an unplanned community that sprang up as families came in search of work.

Sadly, the dream families have of a better life has rarely been realized. Conditions are cramped and the poorest families live in makeshift homes that do not protect them from the elements. Roads are little more than dirt alleys. Some of the 19,000 people who live in the area still lack access to proper sanitation. Cerro de Plata is also susceptible to flooding and landslides. Most men earn their living as day labourers, while women work as maids or tortilla makers. The inadequate education system does not give children what they need to escape poverty.
