Welcome
Welcome to Casa Hogar Vida’s Official Website 
Not just a House, But a Home for Life!
Through using the links above you can find out about all we are doing here in Choluteca, Honduras.
Since 1986, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa has also repeated itself in Honduras (Central America). The majority of HIV infections occur in the middle age group 25-40 year olds, but the fortunate survivors often live in poverty due to their inability to work.
A large proportion of those infected fail to take any medication because their poverty inhibits them from making the 2 hour journey to the nearest clinic. The inevitable deaths force children to live with elderly grandparents; or they are forced into a life on the streets and the horror it entails.
According to US-AID, there are close to 99,000 infected people in Honduras, and in 2006 AVERT reported 3,700 deaths due to HIV/AIDS. At least 2,500 children under 14 lost one parent, and as many as 1,000 were left orphans.
We do not want to become just an orphanage but a center that will provide comprehensive services and support to victims and families to keep children with their closest relatives, help grandmothers sustain the children, and be a vehicle to administer the desperately needed retrovirals, education and Christian counselling starting with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Casa Hogar is always in need of funding and we would always be extremely grateful of donations and we require a huge range of different things to keep the day to day running of Casa Hogar Vida on track for those based in the UK you can download our latest ‘Helping God in Honduras’ brochure here.
