CAMO and World Vision Join Forces to Transform Communities in Honduras

CAMO and World Vision have signed a partnership agreement aimed at directly impacting community development and the holistic transformation of communities in Honduras.

The primary objective of the agreement is to coordinate efforts between CAMO and World Vision Honduras to support economically disadvantaged individuals by providing quality comprehensive care services and improving their living conditions.

With a three-year duration, this agreement will facilitate the delivery of healthcare services, education programs, and community development initiatives by CAMO to communities within the areas of influence of both organizations.

Karen Ramos, Country Program Director for World Vision Honduras, who visited CAMO, stated, “This agreement marks the beginning of a new phase in reaching new territories we want to serve. With CAMO, we will be able to reach many more people. We have a strong focus on children and people with disabilities.”

Patricia Bueso, President of the Board of Directors of CAMO Honduras, added, “Through this agreement, we will reach communities that currently lack access to the services provided by CAMO, particularly the most vulnerable populations.”

This strategic alliance stems from the need to strengthen both World Vision’s and CAMO’s efforts. Both organizations share the goal of providing services effectively and efficiently, coordinating our work with other organizations and specialized networks in sustainable development to amplify the impact of our interventions, and complementing efforts for comprehensive human transformation.

CAMO Transforma una Comunidad a Través de su Compromiso con la Educación

En el corazón de Copán, Honduras, la pequeña comunidad de El Hichozal, ubicada a 7 kilómetros al sureste de Corquín, vive una transformación que parte de la educación de sus niños y niñas.

Con una población de 30 estudiantes entre la escuela Jorge Enrique López y el centro de educación prebásica Gelzy Marelia Gutiérrez, la vida en esta zona rural se desarrolla en un entorno de humildad y muchas carencias.

Fundación CAMO, a través de su departamento de Educación, decidió incidir en esta comunidad educativa, y este apoyo se ha trasladado a toda la comunidad.

Desde que inició su colaboración en 2019, CAMO, a través de la gestión de recursos y donaciones, ha proporcionado apoyo que ha hecho una diferencia significativa en la comunidad.

Oscar Arnulfo Justiniano López, director de la escuela Jorge Enrique López en la mencionada comunidad, comentó que aunque es una comunidad pequeña su gente es organizada, emprendedora. Sin embargo, enfrentamos problemas de desnutrición, falta de apoyo a la educación, y problemas de salud, entre otros”.

El vínculo con CAMO representa esperanza para El Hichozal. La fundación ha dotado a la escuela con libros de texto para las asignaturas básicas, organiza brigadas de evaluación para los estudiantes, distribuye alimentos para familias afectadas por la desnutrición, entre otros.

“El programa ha generado un impacto positivo en la comunidad educativa, mejorando el nivel académico de los estudiantes y motivando a padres y docentes. Hemos visto avances significativos en lectoescritura, logrando incluso los primeros lugares en lectura veloz y comprensiva en el municipio de Corquín”, señaló Justiniano.

“La educación de calidad cambia la vida de las personas, desarrolla y potencia al ser humano en todos los ámbitos de la vida”, concluyó el docente.

CAMO Transforms a Community Through Its Commitment to Education

In the heart of Copán, Honduras, the small community of El Hichozal, located 7 kilometers southeast of Corquín, is experiencing a transformation rooted in the education of its children.

With a population of 30 students between the Jorge Enrique López School and the Gelzy Marelia Gutiérrez School, life in this rural area unfolds in a setting of humility and significant challenges.

CAMO, through its Education Department, decided to make a difference in this educational community, and this support has extended to the entire community.

Since starting its collaboration in 2019, CAMO, through donations and training, has provided support that has made a significant difference in the community.

Oscar Justiniano, the director of the Jorge Enrique López School, commented, “Although it is a small community, its people are organized and entrepreneurial. However, we face issues like malnutrition, lack of educational support, and health problems, among others.”

The connection with CAMO represents hope for El Hichozal. CAMO has provided the school with textbooks for core subjects, organizes evaluation brigades for students, distributes food to families affected by malnutrition, among other initiatives.

“The program has generated a positive impact on the educational community, improving the academic level of the students and motivating parents and teachers. We have seen significant progress in literacy, even achieving top places in speed and comprehensive reading in the municipality of Corquín,” Justiniano noted.

“Quality education changes people’s lives, develops and empowers individuals in all aspects of life,” the teacher concluded.
