Did you know that Honduras is considered a source country for sex trafficking?

Traffickers transport women and children, who are primarily victims of sex trafficking, abroad to countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and the United States.

Did you know Honduras has been named one of the most dangerous and worst places to be a woman?

Gangs use violence against women to enforce their control over the population and the territory under their domain. Rape and sexual assault are used to control, send messages, and punish families. 

Did you know many women first enter the world of prostitution as a minor?

Many children who go into prostitution are forced by their parents to provide for the family. Some agents go to the rural areas of Honduras to find children and contract them out for work. The agents pay the parents large sums of money upfront in exchange for the “labor” done by their children. Some children willingly participate in the prostitution industry because they believe their quality of life will be better than before.

Did you know one of the main factors causing many women to enter prostitution at an early age is poverty and lack of economic opportunity?

75% of the population of Honduras lives in poverty.  This poverty has left Hondurans desperate to have a stable income and unfortunately has driven young girls and women into human trafficking.  

Women who have been subjected to violence, rape, and abuse, need a safe place they can go where they can recover and rebuild their lives. They need a place where they can begin to take steps to regain their self-esteem and learn to live independently.

Women Supporting Women is an initiative spearheaded by godly women from all walks of life at the Buffalo Dream Center.  This initiative aims to bring awareness to the challenges faced by women in other countries, specifically Honduras, and raise funds to provide them with the resources they need to better their lives.

The first project of Women Supporting Women
is supporting a women’s shelter
in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Passion For the Souls and Love Honduras are partnering together to provide a safe place women can go with their children to get the help and healing they need, a Christ-centered home where women will encounter the love and restoration of Jesus.  A home where they can receive a fresh start in their lives.  A home where they can be a part of a local church, receive discipleship classes, and practical life skills training enabling them to lead healthy and productive lives.  A home where their lives can be restored.  We have 8 beds in our shelter and currently every bed is full.
