Global - Project in Quimistan, Honduras

One of the Compassion International projects is associated with the Agape Christian Center in Quimistan, Honduras. The children in the Quimistan Project receive meals (typically twice a week), Christian education, medical checkups, assistance with schoolwork, schools supplies and help with other needs. There are currently about 350 children in this project. I have seen first-hand the positive impact this project has made with these children. I know the project administrators and many of the children being assisted. The name of the Quimistan Project is “Centro de Desarrollo Infantile Lirio del Valle” (Center for Infantile Development – Lilly of the Valley). The project number HO406.

The cost to sponsor a child is $32.00 per month. If you would like to sponsor a child specifically in Quimistanit is very important that you specify the Project #HO406 on the sponsor form or by phone. At times there may be none sponsored child available, just ask to be put on a waiting list until a child is available. You may also go to the website, www.compassion.com. Choose Central America and then Honduras. Photos of children will appear and you will then have to search each individual to find their project name and number.

Once you enroll a sponsorship package will arrive in about 10 days which includes a photo and information about your child, how to write him or her and a video about Compassion International.

You may pay by check, bank draft, or credit card.

If you need assistance, please contact Jim McBride at 662-323-1994.
