Support Urgent Needs in Honduras

Help us reach our goal of $20,000 on Giving Tuesday to support our Extended Care Families who are in dire need at this time!    With your generous support, we will be able to help these families receive the necessary life saving medications and care they desperately need during this crucial time.

What is Friends of Barnabas doing to help people affected ?

Friends of Barnabas is committed to serving our 30 partner communities and the 300 children in our Extended Care Program (ECP). 

 Our staff has maintained steady contact with our Extended Care Program parents and community leaders from the early warnings of Hurricane Eta and Iota until now, as we make our assessments of damages in each community and family home. 

 We are providing life-saving medications and education to this most vulnerable population.  Our staff is delivering medications to our Extended Care patients throughout Honduras as well as refilling Barnabas Medicine Boxes in some of our partner communities.  Our nurses are working closely with community health volunteers as well as community leaders and they are providing education on COVID-19, safe drinking water practices, and mosquito borne illnesses, all of which are issues that are of greater concern with the flooding and displacement brought on by the hurricanes.  We continue to assess damages and needs in each community and family; and we will further determine programmatic needs in the weeks to come.

Our blessing of the George M. Blair Memorial Well at the Barnabas House has allowed us to share the benefit of clean water with local communities and partners in need.
