to change the world

Change a Child's Life Forever... Now.

Did you know..?

Help us pray for this:

The 7th-grade students of Double Hope are preparing for their national exams — we’re praying that each of the 22 will shine with excellence and move forward to High School! ✨
In Honduras, less than half of young people make it to high school.
Not because they lack talent - but because opportunity runs out before they do.

We believe every child deserves the chance to keep learning, dreaming, and building a better future. 💛

Education can change a story — and together, we can rewrite thousands.
Cindy ~ Eight years ago, when I first visited Double Hope on our LCC vision trip, there were only three small classrooms with dirt floors that flooded whenever it rained—and one simple latrine.

Now, on my fourth trip, I can hardly believe what I see: so many new buildings, electricity, running water, and almost 300 children wearing uniforms, shoes, and smiles that shine with health and joy.

God has been so faithful to Double Hope. He continues to open hearts to care for these children, and to show them His love every single day.
All praise to Him. 💛
Yesterday, Pastor Arturo, Pra Ruth, and a team from @ccellamadoeterno  visited the community of Los Robles, which has been completely cut off after the bridge collapsed.
To cross, families must use a chair tied to a rope — their only way to reach the other side.
Still, help made it across. 
The team went to check on the families and children, bringing food supplies since access has become difficult and prices have risen.
Even in hardship, hope always finds a way through.
At Empowering Education International, we believe that education is the most powerful way to break the cycle of poverty. It doesn’t just change minds—it transforms futures.

In every classroom across Honduras, there are children dreaming of becoming teachers, doctors, and leaders. Each one carries a story that deserves to be rewritten. Education gives them the tools to rise above hardship, to imagine a different tomorrow, and to build it with their own hands. 📚✏️

When a child learns, their hope grows, their future expands, and their community is strengthened. That’s why we keep believing, investing, and building schools that shine as beacons of light in the midst of need.

Because while poverty may have many roots, education remains its deepest cure. 💛🇭🇳
Michele from @lighthouse.community.church  had the chance to go on the Double hope trip for the first time and had this to say - 
“A highlight for me was reading to the children. I read a book about Jesus and his ministry. I was impressed by the knowledge the children have of the bible. The highlight for me was seeing all the smiles and the amazement in their sweet faces seeing the pictures in the book. I shared a lesson as well on how Jesus died for our sins. A teacher later shared with me that many of the children want to follow Jesus.”

God is doing amazing things at Double Hope!
This past weekend, part of the Empowering Education team had the opportunity to share at the Forward Conference at Hosanna Fellowship in Tennessee and at Jubilee Church. It was a time of serving, connecting, and showing how God is opening doors to bring education and hope to more children in Uganda and Honduras.

We are grateful to Hosanna Fellowship and Jubilee Church for welcoming us, and to everyone who joined to learn more about the sponsorship program. 💛
Remember the progress we shared a few weeks ago about the fence at Double Hope? 🙌 We’re excited to share that it’s now complete! This means greater safety and new opportunities for the children.
You can put a smile on the children of Double Hope Uganda by supporting with food, education and hope. 🙌
Thank you to every sponsor for making this possible.
We want to give a huge thank you to Marty and Hal Glasgow, Matt and Allyson Spencer ❤️❤️❤️ for their generous donation that provided umbrellas for every student and teacher at @ccellamadoeterno 

Many of our children walk to school, and these umbrellas will be a great help—both on sunny days and on rainy ones. ☂️💙
What we learn when serving on mission trips in Honduras 🇭🇳

We learn that love grows deeper when it is shared. We learn that joy is found not in possessions, but in people. We learn that unity makes us stronger, and that even the smallest act of kindness can carry eternal impact.

Serving in community reminds us that mission is not just about giving it’s about receiving lessons of humility, resilience, and hope from those we walk alongside. 

Every trip shapes us, every story transforms us, and every moment reminds us that God is at work through His people. 💛
Thanks to your support, classrooms at Double Hope in Uganda are now filled with children learning and building a brighter future.

Will you join us in filling more classrooms like this?

Here are just a few reasons we value these trips ( though we could go on for a few more pages if you’d like…. 😜)

(1) The teams that run these ministries always finish these visits very encouraged. Ministry is hard. These moments to step back and celebrate all God is doing are so important. 
(2) Hearts change when people step out of their comfort zone and visit another place to be a part of ministering to people of extreme need. We have seen this over and over again. 
(3) One of our roles as EEI is accountability. Though we work with people of amazing character, we still work hard to ensure we can account for how every dollar that is donated.
Hello, my name is David Maradiaga, I am 11 years old and I am in fifth grade.
I like studying at Llamado Eterno school because they teach us about the Bible and the teachers take care of us.
When I grow up, I want to be a police officer to protect the city.
I go to Llamado Eterno Church with my mom and my sister, and one day I would like to be the drummer of the church to exalt the name of God.

I have many dreams, and I am going to achieve them by working hard and with God’s help.
We’re glad to share the progress in building the perimeter fence on Double Hope’s new property in Uganda. This space, acquired with donor support, will provide greater safety and opportunities for the children at the orphanage. 🙌
At Empowering Education, we believe that every child at Double Hope for Orphans and Needy has a brighter future ahead. 

Behind every smile is a dream, and behind every dream is an incredible potential waiting to be unlocked.

🙏 Pray with us that nothing will stand in their way.
🤝 And if God puts it in your heart, sponsor a child and be part of the story He is writing in Uganda.

What an amazing trip to Double Hope so far. We will be sharing much more soon but for now here are some shots of their time together. 

Most of the group has left for a few final days of tourism while the three from Lighthouse stay at Double Hope a couple extra days. These will be some key days for them to work on some improvements for EEI. 

 - They just installed WiFi at Double Hope
 - Cindy brought a scanner and will be working with them on a new format for the end of year letters. 
 - This will help this work to be less complicated more timely. We really want sponsors and kids to feel connected. 

The need surrounding Double Hope is great. But the vision God gave Pastor Julius and Sarah is starting to come tog in new and exciting ways - to empower these kids to build a better future for themselves.
The mission team has arrived at Double Hope, Uganda!
With joy in their hearts, they’ve begun serving the children—bringing hope, love, and faith to every corner. 🇺🇬

As this day comes to a close, we invite you to pray with us:
🙏 That God's presence would fill every place
🙏 That each child and volunteer would be strengthened
🙏 And that every missionary would be protected under His care

Thank you for being part of this mission.
A vital part of our mission in Honduras is bringing hope where it’s needed most. Last month, our mission team went into some of the most vulnerable areas of the city to share the love of Jesus and preach the Gospel. Every smile, every prayer, and every moment was a seed of faith planted. ❤️
A special thanks to @tcwsoficial for supporting our work last week.

Your senior students did an incredible job helping us with translation during our mission activities.
In every school we visit and in every community facing hardship, we see faces full of hope.

These are the children who inspire our mission.
To everyone who prays, gives, or go to serve, you are making a difference.
Because at the heart of our mission… is seeing them smile.
The Hillside Church team is already in Honduras!
Excited for everything that will happen these next few days. 💪🇭🇳
Thanks to your support, many children in Uganda who once had no access to clean water can now drink with joy and hope. 🌍🙏
Your generosity is changing lives.

A look back at our last mission trip to Honduras 🇭🇳
Our first trip of the year is just around the corner!
In every classroom in Uganda, EEI is planting more than knowledge.
We’re providing nutritious meals, words of life, and a steady hope for every child walking toward a better future.

Because when a child learns, eats, and believes… everything can change. 🌍✨

Thank you to every sponsor who makes this possible.
This year, once again, we are supporting 5 senior students at "Instituto Tecnico Alejandro Flores in El Paraíso". Many of them come from rural communities where poverty and harsh climate conditions have deeply affected their families. In the midst of so many challenges, these young people have chosen to keep dreaming, to keep studying… and today, they have a new sense of hope.

Each of these students will be able to cover the costs of starting the school year and their graduation — a step that, for many, once felt out of reach. This scholarship isn’t just financial support; it’s a message that someone believes in them, that their efforts matter, and that they’re not alone.

The school’s teachers and leaders are the ones who select the scholarship recipients, because they know their stories, their struggles, and their desire to move forward. It’s a collaborative effort that reminds us that when community, faith, and generosity come together, amazing things happen.

A huge thank you to Mike and Karen Warner for supporting this project through the years. Your generosity continues to open doors and change lives. 🌟
This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the strong, loving, and resilient mothers in our communities — the women who sacrifice daily to give their children a better future, even when they have so little.

At Empowering Education, we walk alongside these brave mothers. Through education, support, and faith, we’re helping them break the cycle of poverty for the next generation.

💛 Behind every sponsored child, there's often a mother praying for a miracle.

Thank you, moms. Your love inspires our mission.

👉 Honor a mother today by sponsoring a child in her name. Give the gift of opportunity.
It’s truly amazing to see what has happened in just 8 years.
What started as a small dream in Danlí, Honduras, has grown into a place where more than 275 children are now being reached with quality education, daily care, emotional support, and the love of God.

And none of this would be possible without the generosity and faithfulness of our sponsors.

Thank you for believing in these children.
Thank you for investing in their futures.
Thank you for being part of this story of transformation. 💛
68%. That’s how many girls in Uganda drop out before finishing primary school.
Not because they can’t… But because poverty, teenage pregnancy, and forced marriage tell them they shouldn’t.
At EEI, we believe every girl deserves a desk, a dream, and a future.

Let’s change the numbers. 💪📚
#EmpoweringEducationInternational
26 new sponsored children have taken their first step toward a bright future this year. Thanks to your support, these little ones are beginning their journey in kindergarten, filled with dreams and new opportunities. Together, we are building a future full of hope, one child at a time!
This is what truly matters. This is what transformation with purpose looks like.
In Honduras, this family has been deeply impacted by the love of God and access to education.

Briana, Dylan, and Nestor are three sponsored children studying at Centro Cristiano de Educación Llamado Eterno. Their mom, Vanessa, is part of the kitchen team, and together with her husband, they serve at @llamadoeternomin.

A whole family being transformed by God’s love and the power of purposeful education.

✨ This is the impact of EEI — not just changing a child’s life, but entire generations.
The girls at @Double Hope for Orphans and Needy now have a new bathroom — safe, private, and dignified.

Thank you for building hope, health, and dignity one brick at a time.
Together, we’re building something beautiful.
We’re excited to share this incredible news the children at Double Hope for Orphans and Needy have received shoes!
Thank you for being a part of this journey and making a difference in their lives.
#EmpoweringEducationInternational
The high school students at Centro Cristiano de Educación Llamado Eterno are now using Chromebooks! Thanks to your help, they have access to computers—learning and getting ready for a future where technology is part of everything.

We are still needing more support to be able to bring more technology to the students at @ccellamadoeterno. If you want to help this effort, we have set up a separate fund for this. (link in bio)
Thanks for being part of this journey!
We believe in the power of education because we've seen it change lives.
It’s not just about teaching it’s about walking alongside every child through their journey. ✨
Every Saturday at Ministerio Cristiano Llamado Eterno, a tutoring program runs for our school students.
Children facing tough situations receive not only education, but also love and guidance beyond the classroom. 

Transformation begins when someone believes in them!

Our Mission

Empowering Education International connects families struggling or unable to pay for the costs of schooling with families desiring to help.

We believe in addressing the needs of the WHOLE CHILD, the WHOLE FAMILY and the WHOLE COMMUNITY.

First, we address the financial obstacles preventing the child from attending school by offering a complete scholarship. This pays for a complete uniform, registration costs, school supplies, daily transportation to school and daily lunch money.

In many locations, we provide tutoring classes afterschool to all the children to not only go to school, but experience success.

However, knowing that true change comes only through Christ, we work with the local church to minister to these families and meet not only their physical needs, but also their spiritual and emotional ones as well.
