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.

Scholarship Programme
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 and now run the first Youth Centre in Trinidad, Santa Bárbara. From here we run a variety of educational programmes in the areas of STEM, sport, arts and community journalism, as well as trainings in youth leadership, global citizenship, gender justice and peacebuilding. The centre also acts as a local public library.
Community Libraries
Together with local communities, we start school-based community libraries that fundamentally transform learning environments for students in rural or otherwise marginalised areas. So far, we have supported the opening of 14 libraries in our network!
We envision a future where there are abundant opportunities for Honduran youth and their communities to come together, unimpeded, to learn, lead and grow.
