Unlocking a Child’s Future: The Story of Ana
At Bay Islands International School, in Honduras, education is more than just textbooks and classrooms—it’s a lifeline to a brighter future. Ana, a bright and determined 10-year-old, dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Growing up in a small island community, she has always been fascinated by the ocean that surrounds her, but opportunities to learn and grow have been limited.
Before coming to BIIS, Ana struggled in a Honduras public school that lacked resources and student-centered teaching. Her parents, who work tirelessly to support their family in a very difficult economy, worried about her future. But thanks to the support of generous donors, Ana was able to receive a scholarship to attend BIIS, where she now has access to engaging science lessons, hands-on environmental projects, and inspiring teachers who encourage her to chase her dreams.
Ana’s story is just one of many. Each donation to BIIS helps provide scholarships, technology, and classroom resources that change lives. Your support ensures that students like Ana don’t just dream of a better future—they achieve it.
Will you help open doors for more students like Ana? Join us in empowering the next generation of leaders by making a donation today. Every contribution makes a difference.

Help us build a new school!
We are embarking on the construction of a new building for our school to address the pressing need for expanded facilities. The escalating demand for our education program has outpaced the capacity of our current facilities, necessitating the construction of a new school building. With enrollment numbers steadily climbing, overcrowding has become a critical issue, making it imperative to expand our infrastructure to accommodate the growing needs of our students. This ambitious project aims to alleviate overcrowding while providing an enhanced learning environment conducive to fostering academic excellence and personal growth. Permits: The necessary permits need to be obtained and fees paid to start construction. Septic System: A septic system needs to be installed to provide for the proper handling of waste for a population of up to 300 students. Security Fence: A fence consisting of a 4-foot tall concrete block foundation is needed for security reasons. Water Well: A water well needs to be dug to a depth of around 100 feet to provide for the needs of our students and staff. Electricity Connection: A utility pole will have to be installed to provide electricity to the new building. Landscaping: Landscaping and entry/exit road construction to provide adequate vehicle access and parking for student/staff, and visitor parking. School Building: The first building to be constructed on the property will be required to accommodate administrative offices, the Preschool, and the Elementary school. Also a library, a music room, and an art room.
