educate. is a non-governmental non-profit organisation that works to empower children and young people in Honduras through education.

Honduras has the highest rate of economic inequality in Latin America, and over 60% of the population live in poverty. Only half of all students carry on their education past 6th grade, and the prospect of university is off the cards for most of the country's youth. Without opportunities to study, young people are disproportionately affected by the country's debilitating poverty, overwhelming violence and systematic inequality.

We run a high school and university scholarship programme to provide access to educational opportunities for high-potential youth from low-income backgrounds. We also run a Youth Center and Municipal Library, where we run youth leadership and empowerment programmes as well as courses on art, IT, environmental protection, and sexual health and rights. In addition, we provide support to the public education sector through library projects and other forms of support that strengthen existing educational institutions from within. 

In a country deeply affected by political and social crises, educate. believes in the power of young people to drive long-lasting change in their communities. We are working towards a future where there are abundant opportunities for Honduran youth and their communities to come together, unimpeded, to learn, lead and grow.
