WELCOME TO

 LEONARDA'S HOME OF HOPE

Leonarda’s Home of Hope, Inc. (LHOH) has been established so that suitable housing and care can be provided for homeless children in the Department of Colon, Honduras.  Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere.  In addition, Honduras has one of the highest percentages of HIV/AIDS in the world.  These two problems give rise to hundreds of homeless children. (Photo At Right:  Sor Leonarda with some of the children at the CHHF Clinic in Limón ).

Limón, Honduras is a small village in a remote area of Honduras within the Department of Colon.  Six years ago, through the efforts of Sor Leonarda Martinez Lali, an orphanage was established which today cares for 58 children (from babies to 16 years of age).  This orphanage operates in an abandoned hotel with the children sleeping in 3 bedrooms.  In 2008 the owners allowed a bar/disco to rent an attached portion of the hotel.  Though a new orphanage was a vision prior to the construction of this bar/disco, the vision has become necessity.

Abandoned Hotel

The goal of Leonarda’s Home of Hope is to construct a new orphanage for these children.  The design will provide living space for over 50 children and 4 adults.  Leonarda’s Home of Hope will also provide financial assistance for the operation of the orphanage and the education of the children.  Land is available……construction plans are being developed…..financial support is needed.
