In the heart of Central America is Honduras, one of the Western Hemisphere's most impoverished nations. The struggles faced by its citizens are unimaginable for many of us in the first world. Earning the equivalent of $4 USD per day or less families grapple with extreme poverty. Their daily lives are marked not just by financial struggle but a desperate fight for survival.
Beachside Builds: Hope for Honduras
In the heart of Central America is Honduras, one of the Western Hemisphere's most impoverished nations. The struggles faced by its citizens are unimaginable for many of us in the first world. Earning the equivalent of $4 USD per day or less families grapple with extreme poverty. Their daily lives are marked not just by financial struggle but a desperate fight for survival.
A Nation in Despair: The Reality of Poverty in Honduras
For many Hondurans, a roof over their heads is a luxury often manifested as makeshift shacks and lean-tos constructed from branches, stacks of tires, and cardboard or plastic walls. These humble dwellings, barely constituting a single room, become homes for entire families, forcing 5-7 members to coexist in cramped conditions. In this harsh reality, children are left to care for each other while parents eke out a meager living through odd jobs, leaving education as a distant dream.
The absence of basic amenities compounds their hardships. Without running water, bathing and clothes washing become activities relegated to the river basin. Yet, this very river, the lifeline for many, serves as the receptacle for the region's sewage. The challenges are dire, and the situation is nothing short of impoverishment.
From Texas to Honduras: Beachside's Commitment to Change
Amidst this grim situation, the word esperanza (hope) may seem out of place, but Beachside believes otherwise. Situated on the Gulf Coast of Texas in Matagorda County, Beachside is more than a waterfront development; it's a community dedicated to making a meaningful impact beyond its shores.
Our development team at Beachside is bridging the gap between our tight-knit community and the pressing needs of the people in Honduras. Beyond donating a portion of proceeds from every lot sale, we're actively encouraging our residents to join us in taking on the challenge of making a difference.
Hands-On Philanthropy: Making a Difference in Honduras
Several times a year, Beachside organizes visits to Honduras, bringing together our team and residents to witness firsthand the impact of their generosity. It's not just about financial contributions; we roll up our sleeves, carry materials, stack cinder blocks, paint walls, and, most importantly, connect with the people we're fortunate to serve.
This year, Beachside has set an ambitious goal: to build an entire village for a region devastated by a hurricane. Embracing the spirit of a coastal fishing community, the self-sustaining Matagorda Village will rise from the ruins, providing not only the essentials for survival but also opportunities for economic empowerment and generational change.
Named after the Texas county where Beachside’s developer, Mr. Stuart Lynn, grew his business,
Matagorda Village symbolizes our commitment to fostering resilience and prosperity. too!
