Education Changes Everything
Each morning,15-year-old Litzy Ponce begins a long walk through the hills of Guanijiquil to reach Lazarus Academy. Her journey isn’t easy, but every step brings her closer to her dream of becoming a nurse and bringing healing to her community.
Last year, Litzy’s aunts took her to Tegucigalpa so she could continue school in the city, hoping to spare her the long, difficult walk she faced each day to reach Lazarus Academy, but life away from home was hard in the city. She missed her family, her teachers, the Bible lessons woven into every class, and the sense of love and belonging she’d found at Lazarus Academy Honduras.
Litzy’s Dream of a Future
When Litzy returned, she came back not just to a school but to a community that believes in her. Thanks to generous donors, Litzy’s scholarship covers her textbooks, daily meals, and medical and dental care, while also providing spiritual guidance and emotional support. Because of this, she can focus on her studies, her faith, and her dream of becoming a nurse. Litzy knows that every opportunity she has is made possible by people like you who believe education changes everything.
Now, we are expanding Lazarus Academy Honduras completing Phase II of the construction project to make room for even more students like Litzy.
Together, We Can Educate More Children
The Lazarus Academy expansion opens doors to many more young people like Litzy - students who are ready to study, to grow in faith, and to chase their dreams of a future in Honduras.
But we can’t open those doors without you. Your gift today will provide more students the same life-changing opportunity Litzy has.
Together, we can transform lives — one student, one classroom, one dream at a time.
