Honduras
Whatley Point of Hope Center
Fifteen+ years ago, Dario Delarco saw a need in his hometown of Olanchito, Honduras. In the community where he grew up there were children at risk due to poverty and lack of education. As a pastor he saw an opportunity to meet physical and spiritual needs through a church and child development center. He owned a little property in the community and decided to use it to house two simple buildings.
The ministry began and has operated with almost no outside help. When we visited the small facility the Lord immediately placed on our heart the need to assist in the completion of Dario’s vision. This location has the potential to make a huge impact in the surrounding community with just a little funding. Children need to learn job skills. The community and the center needed a water well. The center needed a paid teacher, helpers, and a cook.
As we visited with Dario, we discovered that just a little support would provide enough help to make this ministry a consistent reality. The organization mainly operated with volunteers who were only able to help occasionally, and the building had no running water, so they needed water for the cooking and drinking is being transported in pots from a neighborhood school.
The Point Of Hope-Honduras now has a teacher and cook on staff, and a water well to provide clean water for drinking and cooking to the kids at the center. If you would like to become a Voice Partner for these kids, click here.
