Yes You!
Adopt a Village is a brand-new program of the International Project Alliance (IPA), a group of Rotary Clubs in the Pacific Northwest and the Rotary Club of Copán Ruinas. The Alliance is offering individual Rotarians and other clubs in Rotary District 5050 the opportunity to sponsor a Mayan village, and in so doing, join the IPA’s ongoing and demonstrably effective programs in the area.
Adopt a Village sponsors enjoy a long-term relationship and frequent contacts with village residents. Sponsorships support enhanced access to education and quality of life in these villages, in line with locally designed programs. The cost of sponsorships varies widely from USD $700 to over $3,000, depending on the size of the village. The American dollar goes a long way in meeting needs in Honduras. 100% of every sponsorship benefits the communities.
If you are interested in sponsoring a village, please contact Program Administrator Marty Pease.
Information about the program can be found on the program’s website, which includes a downloadable brochure.
Before we support a new village, we call a community meeting to explain our programs and explore their needs. Everyone is invited. Here is an example from the village of Mariposal.
