The Ficohsa Foundation for Early Childhood Education has benefitted 145,000 pre-school children since its inception in 2000. Our school feeding program has been an important part of the Foundation’s mission over the last 23 years.
The Foundation recently made its first food delivery of 2023, providing over 419,000 meals to 6,800 children at 142 preschools. Each child also received an individual backpack of school supplies, together with additional supplies for teachers, at a cost of nearly 18 million Lempiras (or USD 725,000). The Foundation also provided basic health and safety supplies to preschools, including facemasks, liquid soap, and sanitizer. Since 2001, the Ficohsa Foundation has invested over 64 million Lempiras (or USD 2.6 million) in delivering 22 million meals to over 150,000 kids.
