Our Little Roses Ministries
San Pedro Sula, Honduras
A complete ministry for women and children
When a girl comes to Our Little Roses, she is given love, attention, a safe place to be, and a Christian education. The idea that she is able to do anything with her life is stressed throughout. The girls of the Home are sent out into the community, to one of seven different schools so that they can receive an education that is tailor made for them and their academic strengths. In only 10 years of operation Our Little Roses is starting to reap the fruits of its labor. Some of the first girls who entered the home have graduated from their schools, many with honors. These girls are not stopping either, almost all have decided that they want to continue their education at a college level.
Our Little Roses seems to affect the lives of all the people who come in contact with its ministries. Many of the friends and families of the girls were also trapped in a cast-like system, which they accepted as normal. When they see their daughters, sisters, nieces, friends striving beyond these glass ceilings, it inspires them to change their lives as well.
In Memory of Dr. Rosa Judith Cisneros (1938-1981), an Episcopalian who worked for social justice in El Salvador, especially a champion for women's and children's rights. She was martyred on the steps of her house in San Salvador.
