Mission

In Spanish, "chispa" means "spark," which is exactly our goal: to inspire and empower Honduran students with access to books by creating school libraries through a community driven approach. We work directly with local Honduran leaders to bring students their first children's books and support the new libraries throughout the school year. We also provide an integral training with parents, teachers, and students for the best usage of the books to improve children's reading fluency and comprehension. Finally, we use local and international volunteers to help fund and support new libraries while facilitating intercultural opportunities within different Honduran and international communities.
