IHB is delivering humanitarian construction projects beyond what any of us could have dreamed just 10 years ago when we started building in Honduras.

The secret to our success?

1. God's continuous presence in all we do.
2. Incredible partners like PegaDuro de Centro America who stand along side us through it all - providing excellent products, incredible support, and a mutual vision to improve the communities we love to serve.

There is nothing we can't do together.

I spy with my little eye . . . IHB shirts, our very own Gio Saybe - and a whole lot of hope for 10 families in need of shelter!

A note from the community of El Paraíso, Copan on this mission critical project:

"Thanks to the efforts of our mayor, the construction project for 10 homes began today, a joint initiative between the Municipality and the International Hope Builders organization.

This important project represents the beginning of a dream come true for 10 families in the urban area, providing them with hope, dignity, and a better future.

We continue to work with commitment and responsibility for the well-being of our people."

Providing Shelter. Restoring Dignity. Building Hope!

The IHB Team is honored to deliver 10 much needed homes to kick off the new year! Ground has broken and the project is underway - thanks to the amazing donors who contributed the funds needed.

We have an incredible year ahead! Thank you for being a part of it.

Let's go build!

🎁 IHB has been blessed by a generous donor who would like to help all of our donors double their gifts this season - contributing up to $50K in matching gifts!

🏥 Donations received in November will be eligible for this important fundraising opportunity to bring 4 new clinics to communities in desperate need of locally available medical care.

💛 Hondurans often travel hours to receive urgent and maternity care - turning common illnesses, injuries and birth experiences into dangerous endeavors. Our clinics bring safety and dignity to those who need immediate attention.

A special note from IHB co-founder, Lana Patterson, while serving in Honduras this week:

"I have been on 20 + trips to Honduras and today was difficult, I was proud and broken by the ladies of this Village! They have a business raising and selling chickens! They work so hard and it is not a very pleasant job!

Slaughter day. I felt proud of them but so broken that these children and people have so little! This little child (probably less than one) was chewing on a chicken neck!

I walked down the road through the mud wondering why was I born in the US?

Thank you Lord that I have the ability to give to these ladies! Thank you all of you that give to IHB."

There are moments when we see the sun shining down on one of our buildings and it's like a smile... a blessing... over our labor of love.

Hope shining through the skies as we build in El Progreso with Humanity and Hope.

The IHB team arrived in Honduras and received a very warm welcome from the Valle Verde children who just started school this month in their new classrooms! Attendance has doubled since delivering the new buildings - bringing a new hope through education!
