Project Description
Familias Saludables is a nonprofit, nondenominational organization devoted to fighting the AIDS epidemic on Roatan and the Bay Islands. Our major focus is on reducing the incidence of mother-to-child transmission of the virus both at birth and via breast milk. We run testing clinics for pregnant women, assign trained home visitors for mothers living with HIV/AIDS, provide education to the public, provide palliative training services and, when available, we provide infant formula, medications, and a host of supplies to support families struggling to cope with this disease. In addition, we fund and organize a school for children here in the local community, many of whom have been part of our program’s success. Our greatest need is for formula and school supplies/support for local families. Any items you can bring are greatly needed and will bless the lives of families here on the island.

Project Description
Sandy Bay Lighthouse Ministries is a facility that provides “family” type shelter, care, and education for children of Roatan who have been removed from their homes by the authorities out of concern for their welfare. For some children the placement is temporary, for others it may be long term. They provide stability and direction for these children as they grow and mature so that one day they will become productive citizens of Honduras, and confident in their purpose in life.
