Honduras, a country slightly larger than Tennessee, has a population of 6 million people. It is the second largest country in Central America. Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere has an extraordinarily unequal distribution of income and massive unemployment. The unemployment rate is 27.5%. The number of people living below the poverty line in Honduras is 53%. Widespread malnutrition complicates the population's fragile health. Poverty and hopelessness contribute to crime, unwed pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse, AIDS, family violence, poor public health, and widespread functional illiteracy. Honduras needs your help!.*
