educate. is a grassroots non-profit organisation that works to empower children and young people in Honduras through community-driven initiatives focused on education.

We aim to break down the unequal power relations inherent to so much non-profit work by fostering bottom-up leadership that centres our community of young people and local leaders as protagonists.

OUR WORK

Scholarships

We award scholarships to high-potential students from low-income backgrounds to continue their education at secondary and post-secondary level. Over 90% of our students are the first in their families to pursue a high school or university degree, and over 60% are girls and young women.

Youth Center

We founded the first Youth Centre in Trinidad, Santa Bárbara, a space for young people to learn, lead and grow. The center brings together our scholarship students, youth programmes and community activities under one roof, alongside a public library open to the wider community.

Programmes

We create spaces where children and young people from rural communities can explore their interests, develop new skills, and take on leadership roles. Our programmes include STEM, sport, arts and community journalism, as well as trainings in youth leadership, global citizenship, gender justice and peacebuilding.

Libraries

Together with local communities, we start school-based community libraries that transform learning environments for students in rural or otherwise marginalised areas. So far, we have supported the opening of 14 libraries in our network!

A Space to Be Heard: Opening educate.’s Therapy and Mental Health Room

Some spaces are built with walls, doors and furniture. Others are built with things that  are much more important: trust, listening, empathy and hope. This 26th of September at educate., we opened the doors to a space we have been imagining for a long time: the Stephanie Chevez Therapy and Mental Health Room, a place where children and young people can be supported, heard, and where they can feel free to talk about the things that are often difficult to say out loud.
