Fundación Honduras Social
Promoting social inclusion and economic empowerment of vulnerable communities in Honduras.
History: Honduras Social was founded by Karen Madrid, a social entrepreneur who has made an impact at a national and international level for her social leadership and her fight for rights and the generation of opportunities for vulnerable communities in Honduras. It all began when her son Isaac was diagnosed with autism in his school years. She and her family experienced the exclusion and discrimination that children with disabilities experience in Honduras. Through her experience as a mother, she was able to learn about the difficulties and lack of opportunities that exist in terms of inclusion in Honduras. This is how she decided to dedicate her life to the search for inclusion and equal opportunities for all through her own foundation with innovative programs to promote equality and open spaces to generate opportunities in a more tolerant and inclusive society.
Objectives: To be the leading foundation in Honduras that provides new social and economic opportunities through international connections and alliances implementing the Sustainable Development Goals to strengthen and replicate more inclusive and innovative programs that promote education, volunteering and entrepreneurship on equal terms for all with the aim of reducing the high rates of inequality, poverty and migration.
Vision: To provide and implement new strategies to socially include and economically empower our beneficiary populations in Honduras through different national and international programs, activities and strategic alliances.
Past activities: There have been many activities and programs: to mention the most relevant: technical assistance in entrepreneurship for people with disabilities, mentoring for women and rural entrepreneurs, incubation and delivery of seed capital for entrepreneurships, training, national and international events to empower entrepreneurship, being the volunteer bridge for disability care in rural centers with international volunteers from Europe.
Current activities: Entrepreneurship programs, volunteer programs, Economic Empowerment program for Leaders and Agents of Change in business, climate, political and social change together with organizations in the USA, Europe and Central America.
