WASHSUMMARYDespite rampant inflation and fuelshortages, the Honduras WASHProgram successfully fostered betterhealth and well-being for thousands ofpeople in the first half of FY22. We jointhe 14,319 people who now havereliable access to clean water inthanking God—and you—for yoursupport of this life-changing work.This work also provided 870 studentsat 12 schools with clean water oncampus, and six health facilities withwater for drinking, bathing, andkeeping the clinics clean and saferfor patients.household hygiene practices andlatrine management.These efforts support our Finishthe Job plan to reach everyone,everywhere we work in Honduras,with clean water by 2027. Water is just part of the solutionThe Healthy School and Homemethodology was used to teachfamilies how to protect their healththrough proper hygiene, sanitation,and water management.

The curriculum also taught7,165 people strong personal andPartnerships strengthen effortsCommunity ownership of WASHimprovements is vital for long-termsustainability, so communities won’tsee their precious water suppliesevaporate.To promote community involvement,the Honduras WASH Program engaged17 government agencies and nonprofitorganizations to provide financial andtechnical support for water systemconstruction. In addition: 30 WASH committees were trainedto manage system maintenanceand repairs.10 student WASH clubs weretrained to promote WASHservices and take care of schoolfacilities. Ten school committeeswere trained to plan, budget for,implement, and monitor schoolWASH activities and facilities.Danna, 10, and Tatiana, 5,wash their hands at ProfessorGustavo Cruz Robles School inPiedras Negras. “Thank you,World Vision, for your supportwith the school sanitationmodule,” said Gloria Diaz, ateacher at the school. “This hashelped motivate children toenroll this year, and know theycan come to school where theycan find adequate facilities.”92 faith leaders were trainedto promote WASH in theircommunities.PROGRESS ON CORE ACTIVITIES (LIFE OF PROJECT: FY21-FY25)261,868peopled gained access to clean water, including 14,319 in the first half of FY22.13,380people gained access to household sanitation, including 3,054 in the first half of FY22.34,556people gained access to handwashing facilities, including 7,165 in the first half of FY22.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTSUMMARYDespite a global slowdown in thesupply chain, increased costs ofproduction, and a continuing COVID-19pandemic, farmers—especiallywomen—played a vital role in WorldVision’s Transforming HouseholdResilience in Vulnerable Environments(THRIVE) Project in Honduras in FY22.Farmers sold 3,874 tons of coffee toearn 272,560, with women producersaccounting for 61% of the earnings—significant given that men traditionallylead coffee production. Women madeup nearly 59% of the coffee producerswho sold in the local market. Producersin the bean value chain sold 500 tons,earning 148,082, with womenaccounting for 64% of the earnings.The project worked with partners andsavings groups to stockpile agriculturalsupplies, tools, and other inputs. Thishelped farmers affected by the supplychain slowdown related to the warin Ukraine. The project also provided2,677 farmers with technical assistance,with 1,083 of them learning aboutsuch topics as climate-smart farming;soil, pest, and disease management;and crop spacing. More than 1,300producers used seeds that weretolerant of climate variability.In other project achievements: Participants prepared 170,000seedlings for reforestation andset aside 94,460 of savings tomanage emergencies.Nearly 1,900 participants in BiblicalEmpowered Worldview (BEWV)trainings said their values andfamily environments had beenpositively transformed.Through a license with 26agrometeorological stations,farmers will receive weather datato better plan their crops.Dillma Daysi Gómez Henríquez(above, right) leads a group ofwomen entrepreneurs calledWorking for a Better Tomorrowwho bake and sell artisanbread in El-Carmen. “THRIVEcame to this community andgave us a push to improve theorganization of the group andguide us in the business thatsuited us,” she said.PROGRESS ON CORE ACTIVITIES (LIFE OF PROJECT: FY17-FY23)8,850 farmers using improved seedsfor agriculture89%Target: 10,0000%11,701 people participating in Savingsfor Transformation groupsTarget: 14,0005,146 farmers using some formof irrigationTarget: 3,1509,236 producer group members sellingvalue chain productsTarget: 20%40%60%80%100%92%0%20%40%60%80%100%

CHILD PROTECTIONSUMMARYEvery child has the right to beprotected. We are working hand-inhand with churches, families, and thechildren themselves to reclaim thatright. Through our community-ledinterventions, we are seeking justiceand safety for children and youth atrisk of violence. 90% of the Peace Clubs createdsince the project began in FY18are still active (53). This period,youth in Peace Clubs held bullyingawareness campaigns, art camps,and trainings to help spreadawareness and prevent violence. We coordinated activities with38 churches and held fiveRaising Children with Tendernessworkshops, benefiting 144 parentsand caregivers. This workshophelps families address and breakpatterns of violence and raisechildren with greater affection.This period, 1,088 children andyouth were reached with tools toprotect themselves from violenceand promote a culture of peacethrough our outreach efforts.Other FY22 achievements include: 1,156 at-risk children wereidentified by 26 child protectioncommittees. These committeesare now creating action plans tohelp protect those children.719 children were trained toprotect themselves from physical,sexual, and psychological violencethrough training from fourchildren’s councils (children andyouth who focus on advocatingfor children's rights). In El Progreso, we started theGesell Camera Project, which willprovide a space for survivors ofviolence to dialogue and heal withsupport from psychologists.The foundation of this work is ourpartnership with communities andchurches. To build those partnerships,we held seven city-level meetings(each in a different city) to establishagreements for working together toprotect children in emergencies.A child plays with bubbles duringa Peace Club activity day ledby Ministerio Silio Church inSan Pedro Sula, Honduras,with support from WorldVision. In areas like San PedroSula, violence is common, andevents like these give childrena fun, safe place to play andfeel loved. They also help shiftcommunity mindsets about theimportance of raising childrenwith tenderness.PROGRESS ON CORE ACTIVITIES (LIFE OF PROJECT: FY18-FY22)59 Peace Clubs established to promotepeaceTarget: 58102%0%121 local violence prevention planscreated or improved440%60%80%100%99%Target: 1210%8,365 children with parents who havecompleted at least one Raising Childrenwith Tenderness training20%20%40%60%80%100%107%Target: 7,8110%20%40%60%80%100%
