The Secretariat of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Secretary of Education with funding from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), UNICEF Honduras and in a partnership with UNICEF Honduras with the Asociación de Mancomunidades de Honduras (AMHON), Agua Pura para el Mundo (APPM) held a high-level Steering Committee meeting for the project “Inclusive and Safe Education for the Most Vulnerable Girls, Boys and Adolescents of Honduras.
This ambitious initiative aims to support the country’s most vulnerable communities—especially those facing significant barriers to accessing quality public education. The project focuses on improving conditions in schools, basic community centers, and educational institutes across all 298 municipalities of the national territory.
During the meeting, the international organizations presented a study highlighting the urgent need to strengthen the public education system. Key priorities include addressing deficiencies in school infrastructure, improving accessibility, boosting student retention, ensuring students physical and psychological wellbeing, WASH in schools and preventing school-related violence.

These efforts aim to guarantee safer, healthier environments for Honduran children and youth.
