Your support enables our Honduran friends to achieve goals that previously seemed beyond reach.
Read moreEffective and lasting community transformation flows from the vision and initiative of local leaders. Our Honduran partners have trusting relationships with local leaders, and can guide them through the process of identifying a community's strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. As the vision comes into focus, The Carpenteros provide a portion of funding to help turn a community's dreams into reality.
How tragic that a few hundred dollars can stand between an ambitious young student and a high school education. The Carpenteros' Scholarship Fund will match the family's contribution to enable students from three impoverished villages to attend high school. These students are the first from their communities to graduate from high school, and several are pursuing a post-secondary education.
When daily income is barely enough to feed your family, it is extremely difficult to just maintain your home, let alone to make improvements. The Carpenteros work with our Honduran partners to identify those families in the greatest need, and to then provide funding for latrines (outdoor toilet), improvements to roofs and walls, and to pour concrete floors for greater comfort and sanitation.
Safe, clean water is an essential human need. Contaminated water remains one of the leading causes of disease and death. Your support makes it possible to drill wells, install pumps and tanks, participate in water distribution projects, and to provide individual rural homes with a 'pila' – a small above-ground basin where a family can store sufficient water to last them several days.
Thank you for supporting
the Carpenteros and Friends
for the past 23 years
When the first teams of Carpenteros helped rebuild homes in Pushtan in 2001, they had no idea what sort of journey they were about to launch. Since then, more than 30 teams have served throughout Honduras, helping to repair schools, improve homes, dig trenches for water lines, and build lasting friendships with hundreds of Honduran families.
But this has been far more than a series of short-term mission trips. The Carpenteros and Friends have become a 'movement' of compassion, generosity and Christian love. And while many of the volunteers and donors have never been to Honduras, they have had a profound impact in improving the quality of life for Hondurans living in extreme poverty.

The Carpenteros and Friends is a volunteer group dedicated to walking alongside our Honduran brothers and sisters with respect, compassion and dignity. Carpenteros' teams serve alongside our Honduran guests to improve the homes of the most severely impoverished and to provide essential community needs such as a reliable water supply. Carpenteros' events help to raise awareness of the needs in Honduran communities and generate funds for projects and programs.
The Carpenteros and Friends believe that lasting change must originate within the initiative of the local community. Our Honduran partners have long-established, trusting relationships with the communities they serve. They equip local leaders to identify needs, establish priorities, take an inventory of resources, and develop a realistic action plan. Once these steps are taken and a plan is in place, The Carpenteros may provide assistance so the community's vision can become reality.
The Carpenteros and Friends serve in conjunction with registered Canadian charity World Renew through its offices in Burlington (Ontario) and Tegucigalpa (Honduras). Coordination and oversight of all programs, projects and visiting teams is done in partnership with either Harvest Honduras or World Renew its Honduran partner organizations: ALFALIT, Diaconia Nacional, MCM/Stewardship of Christian Ministries, and the Association for a More Just Society in Honduras.
