Mitigation of Forced Displacement and Strengthening of collectives of migrants and migrants families

Website Many urban neighborhoods in the departments of Corts, Francisco Morazn, and Atlntida, Honduras, continue to face violence from gangs and other actors, resulting in the forced displacement of individuals and families.

These families generally seek safe alternatives nearby, but face considerable economic hardship and social exclusion as they try to reestablish themselves. The IAF supports community-led solutions to enhance peace and security and create alternatives to migration.

IAF grantee the Asociacin Hermanas Scalabrinianas responds to the needs of Hondurans displaced by violence within their own country, addressing their initial needs for shelter and trauma care as well as providing support to seek employment or develop small businesses for long-term integration, reducing the need to migrate.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the drivers of irregular migration in Central America.
