Tutoring for children with learning disabilities in Honduras
Education is one of the most important levers for breaking out of the poverty spiral. This also applies to the children growing up in rural areas in Honduras. In the valley of Mata de Platano, nph has been operating a family center since 2020 and offers poor families their support in the areas of health, psychosocial support, support for children with disabilities – and education. A key offer is tutoring for primary school children and individual support for children with learning disabilities, reading support, and speech therapy. The parents, who often do not have a qualified education, are unable to support their children themselves. Without support, however, the children have no chance of graduating from school and no prospect of building a secure livelihood later on. This help is a vital investment in the children's future.
