Ficohsa is partnering with NGO Glasswing International on a Young Impact Leaders project that will support over 1,800 young people in Honduras through payroll donations. Glasswing operates health, education, migration, and community development programs for vulnerable children throughout Latin America.
The partnership will build on the success of 2022, when Ficohsa collected USD300,000 to enable Glasswing to support over 1,400 young people, helping to stem forced and irregular migration from Honduras of those between 15 and 22 years of age.
Glasswing works in low-income communities where there are high rates of violence, dropout, and most youth have been raised by a single parent or relative other than their biological parents. Studies have found that students enrolled in Glasswing’s community schools showed improved academic performance, positive behavior changes, increased emotional resilience, and felt they had a better school environment. Ficohsa is honored to support such an important cause.
