Description

Our project with Global Brigades focuses on supporting Amigos Unidos, a non-profit organization in Honduras, by helping a local business owner grow her enterprise while also promoting education access. In Honduras, where educational resources are limited, we aim to combine business growth with efforts to increase educational outreach. Our approach involves broadening the business’s reach through social media and increasing funding and donations to sustain the non-profit’s operations. These strategies are designed to amplify the organization’s impact and ensure it can continue to provide both economic opportunities and educational resources. We are in the early stages of the project, and results have not yet fully materialized. However, we are closely monitoring how the business’s expansion and the increased support from social media and donors contribute to both the success of the business and the community’s access to education. While we have not yet gathered conclusive data, we remain optimistic that the combined efforts of business growth and educational outreach will lead to meaningful long-term benefits for the community. As we continue the project, we look forward to seeing the results of these strategies and evaluating their effectiveness in promoting both economic development and education in Honduras. We anticipate to have results by the end of the year.
