Honduran Facts

Conditions in Honduras

Many cannot afford the basics of beans, rice or eggs that they need to survive. According to published reports, many survive only on tortillas and salt. Many find themselves working very physically demanding jobs without the energy and stamina necessary to do it well. While we here in America are seeing a very slow economy and are lamenting the recession and its affects, consider Honduras’ state of the economy being several times worse on a day to day basis. In the past the government was able to subsidize the cost of gas, electricity and other necessary commodities of life, but that is no longer the case.
