ABUNDANT LIFE FOUNDATION

We aim to create opportunities for hondurans to access affordable housing and quality education. Our goals within the next five years are to complete a 70-home dignified affordable housing community with a broad range of wrap-around services (school, church, park, library) and to provide educational opportunities to young hondurans that include bilingual literacy training, educational scholarships and life-skills training. Operationally, we will broaden our donor base, strengthen our staff, and increase our program monitoring and evaluation to develop the necessary infrastructure for our anticipated growth.

Our 5-year strategic plan outlines a broad range of activities that will occur to successfully achieve our goals. Below is a list of our strategies that will guide us toward success. Each of these strategies has a detailed implementation strategy and timeline.
