Helping Hands for Honduras, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt, charitable organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, under the direction of the Board of Directors. Established in 2001, our mission has been to provide life-saving cardiac care to those who would otherwise lack access to such critical treatments. Our program has grown dramatically due to the huge number of children who were not treated due to the lack of hospitals and trained health professionals in this specialized field.
