Casa de Esperanza

Making a difference, one child at a time

Thank you for stopping by the Casa de Esperanza store. This store was created to raise money to support the children of Casa de Esperanza. One hundred percent of the profits go directly to the support the children and to make their lives better.

The "starfish story" tells us about a little boy that went to the beach one morning and found a storm had stirred up thousands of starfish. He immediately began to throw them back - one at a time. An old man walked by and asked him what he was doing. The boy explained and the old man told him he could not make a difference. The boy looked at the starfish in his hand and told the man "it makes a difference to this one."

That is what we try to do, is make a difference, one child at a time. For every purchase you make from the Casa Shop, you, too, will help to make a difference one child at a time.

All of our products are made in Honduras. Below you will find some of the products offered in our store.
