Promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities through inclusive health, education and food security, within a human rights framework.

Children with disabilities in Honduras face long-term health, educational, and economic exclusion.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased income loss and food insecurity for these children and their families in the municipalities of Pimienta, Potrerillos, and Villanueva. The IAF supports community-led approaches to improve food security and expand social and economic inclusion.

Our grantee the Asociacin Centro Intercomunitario de Atencin a Personas con Discapacidad 'Solidaridad' (CIS) will partner with parents of children with disabilities to expand inclusive education, improve access to health services, and expand economic activity for persons with disabilities and their families.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America, and is part of the IAF's broader COVID-19 response strategy.
