Central America | Honduras

Helping people in Honduras | ASB Foreign Aid

Honduras is one of the countries most affected by climate change. Large parts of the country are located in what is known as the Central American Dry Corridor, which is affected by recurrent droughts. Low crop yields, lack of productive expansion and declining employment opportunities are leading to food insecurity and large numbers of people emigrating.

Projects in Honduras | Details

Strengthening local capacities for universal and climate-sensitive WASH (Water, Sanitary and Hygiene)

The Climate Risk Index definitively states that Honduras is the country most affected by climate change worldwide. The western region is particularly prone to drought, which has resulted in it becoming the poorest region of the country with the highest food insecurity. The WASH project will ensure that the population of three highly vulnerable communities (Apacilagua, El Corpus and Concepción de María) have access to water and sanitation facilities.
