Education Proven Key to Breaking Cycle of Poverty
A good education in Honduras is costly. Our Little Roses Ministries is committed to preparing the girls God gives us to care for and love and provide the best education to prepare them to thrive in a middle class society as adults. To accomplish this we seek scholarships so that each girl can attend good schools that challenge their academic ability and ambition. Our girls attend seven different schools from Holy Family Bilingual pre-school through ninth grade and other local schools including special needs education. Holy Family School located on Our Little Roses campus includes boys and girls from surrounding neighborhoods and 22 OLR girls capable of handling the challenging a bilingual education.
More than forty of our girls whose transformed lives began at Our Little Roses Home have gone on to lead productive lives, They were nurtured and educated in our child care system and have gone on to live in a middle class society which is only possible by experiencing the opportunities we provided that made it possible for them be successful in the competitive adult world. All have been baptized and raised in the church and through the saving grace of Our Lord Jesus live in hope.
Having come to Our Little Roses with no educational background at different ages of rescue, they were able to achieve a good education and graduate from high school or have chosen to obtain a technical high school degree which allows them to enter the job market straight out of school. OLRM has a good tutoring staff to help them achieve good grades.
It is not the goal of everyone to seek a university degree. Some girls choose to be independent and enter the job market after high school and are successful in their endeavor. Many employers seek young women who are as well prepared academically and socially as our girls are who have graduated out of our child care system. Many have gotten married and have children and are working in the community. Their children unlike their mothers start off having the protection of appropriate parenting that includes good nutrition, medical attention and early childhood education on upwards and responsible socialization. We have seen the power of the OLRM alumni that continue mature relationships with each other and offer a sound loving base with the younger girls still at the Home.
