Village Health Banks - Project HOPE’s Village Health Bank programme began in Tegucigalpa, Honduras in 1993, one of the first programmes to integrate health education with micro-credit. Since that time, Project HOPE has provided more than 10,000 women in Honduras and their families with access to credit and health education. Today, Project HOPE has Village Health Banks in Tegucigalpa, Santa Barbara, La Paz, and Choluteca. In 2002, in response to the requests of participants, Project HOPE added anti-domestic violence education and support to the VHB programme, coordinating with local specialised organisations.

HIV/AIDS - Project HOPE’s HIV/AIDS activities focus on the city of San Pedro Sula and the surrounding areas. The project seeks to combat rising HIV infection rates through education and to improve comprehensive HIV/AIDS care by providing technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and local organisations. Project HOPE has worked to improve the infrastructure, management and quality of care offered by a hospital-based AIDS clinic, an effort now being replicated by the MOH in other clinic settings.

Care & Support for People Living with HIV/AIDS (COMCAVI) - The goal of this programme is to improve the level of home care received by PLWHA, reduce transmission of HIV/AIDS via education, reduce stigma and discrimination due to unfounded fears about the methods of transmission and care of patients. HOPE is providing preventive, care, and support services to PLWHA, their families, and the communities in the cities of San Pedro Sula and El Progreso.
