Partners
Honduras Child Alliance partners locally and globally with like-minded organizations seeking to make a difference.
Bomberos Porvenir
Firefighters and Emergency First Responders (Honduras)
We are so grateful to our local firefighters and emergency workers, the Bomberos Porvenir. We have partnered with them on the 'Mascotas Saludables' program for families in El Porvenir to help keep their pets healthy, beach safety, delivering holiday gifts, physical exams & health fairs, a shoe distribution (over 400 shoes given out in one day!), and much more!

The Bomberos Porvenir work with local youth in a Junior Firefighters program, a marching band, and other mentoring roles. They are a large reason that our community is so safe and we appreciate their ongoing friendship and great work!
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (Brazil)
TabuTabu and Honduras Child Alliance envision a world where human sexuality is not a taboo, and where all people benefit from sexuality education to empower them to engage in healthy, safe, and respectful relationships, regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation.

In socially vulnerable communities across the world, lack of access to quality sexuality education and limited economic opportunities often engender sexual violence, gender discrimination, and unwanted pregnancies that further propagate the cycle of poverty. These are exactly the type of communities with whom TabuTabu partners to co-create relevant app-based sexuality education programs for children, youth and adults.
FORESCUE, INC
Cat and dog vaccinations, flea/tick treatments, spaying and neutering.
Amy Stanley, founder of FORESCUE, Inc. first visited El Porvenir in 2018 as a volunteer with HCA. Although her work with the children was meaningful, she also recognized the health needs of local dogs and cats.
This evolved to the development of a program that provides health and reproductive services for pets in the community, while also providing professional development skills to HCA's team of Honduran interns.

AIME provides long-term French volunteers to HCA. AIME is a symbol of the alliance between the values of commitment, solidarity, and sharing. AIME brings together young people who share the goal of building a better future and world for all. Our common aspiration has resulted in the desire to participate more concretely in the evolution of the world by emphasizing values of love, mutual aid, and equality.

We are certain we can project these values into the society in which we live, and we have chosen to associate ourselves and engage in projects of international solidarity. In developing our missions, we aim to reduce growing inequalities in emerging countries and to contribute to the economic and human development of marginalized communities.

Hamilton-Benest House
Healthy Living Program : Dental hygiene (Canada)
When it’s time for the Hamilton-Benest House annual dental teams, HCA volunteers drop everything to help! For 2-3 weeks each February/March, HCA volunteers pause the regular programs and assist two teams from Canada who bring dentists and hygienists to treat children in El Porvenir.

Organized by Anne Fowler, a Canadian woman who does educational and healthcare projects of her own and also partners with HCA, the teams see 400+ children each year! Our HCA volunteers help with scheduling, escorting the children from classes to the clinic, keeping records, assisting the hygienists, and translating for the dentists. It’s a learning experience for sure and we’re thrilled that the dental health in our community has notably improved in the 12 years that the dental teams have been visiting.
Visual Arts / Digital Photography (International Participants)
In addition to visual arts projects built into the everyday HCA programs, HCA partners with the Muskoka Foundation / Do Good As you Go in the area of digital photography.

A recent photography project called ‘Portals’ incorporated the work of 6 of our HCA students into documenting the essence and flavor of our community of El Porvenir. Here’s an ALBUM of 30 photos, direct from the eyes of the children we work with!
