We support a child overseas through World Vision.

Daniela Yanahi is a 7 year old in grade 2 and lives in Sierra Lenca, Honduras.

Our support has provided her and her family COVID-19 health supplies, Christian education and leadership, hygiene education along with a hygiene kit for personal use, and child-friendly spaces.

In a recent correspondence, Daniela told us some things about herself. She says her grandmother is someone special to her because she feeds and takes care of her, so it sounds like she is her primary caregiver. Daniela likes to play, sing, and dance, and she likes school and church.

World Vision is an evangelical Christian humanitarian aid, development, and advocacy organization, founded in 1950, with a charity rating of 93%. It continues to respond to the devastating impact of COVID-19 in more than 70 countries. Trained staff around the world strictly follow safety measures from both the World Health Organization and local governments, as it continues to bring hope to the most vulnerable children.

World Vision will partner with a community for approximately 15 years. Because of our support and the support of others like us, 338 people in Sierra Lenca now have access to handwashing stations and safer toilets and water systems, helping to protect them from disease. Also, 2,523 children are safer and feel secure at school now that the community child protection board is raising local awareness of child rights and child protection, and 120 families received tools or farming supplies, helping them to improve their production so they have food throughout the year and can sell extra to the community.

As of 2022, Honduras has a mortality rate of 17.6 for those under age 5, compared with 6.5 in the U.S. The average number of years at school is 6.6 (U.S. is 13.4). The Gross National Income is $5,308/person (U.S. is $63,826).
