Some of our children used to spend their days chopping down charred sugar cane with a machete, picking coffee for hours in the hot sun, or sifting through garbage cans to find food for their families . The International Labor Organization estimates that there are 241,000 Honduran children between the ages of 11 and 17 working full-time jobs like these.

They are the fortunate ones.

Many other children are abused, abandoned, beaten by gangs, robbed, or sold into prostitution.

At Amigos, all of our children are cared for, loved, and taught important skills that will help them break the vicious cycle of poverty, addiction and abuse. They have all overcome enormous odds and we invite you to meet our children.

Early one morning, a timid voice softly called out from the cornfields, “Do you have any food for me?” It was the voice of a scared, little boy named Feliz. He was naked, cowering behind a large cornstalk, and his emaciated ten-year-old body was covered in cuts, bruises, and parasites. “Do you have any food for me?” he whispered again. Feliz had been wandering from town to town in this condition for days until someone finally told him to “Follow the cross and you will find hope.”

Like Feliz, dozens of children each year seek out our small community in Honduras. Nearly 1000 miles away, another small community of generous benefactors in Malvern, Pa has dedicated itself giving these children a safe home.

This is Amigos de Jesús, the place where children find hope.
