IMPACT CAMPAIGN
JOIN SISTER'S MISSION
This documentary celebrates Sister Maria Rosa Leggol’s life, her humanitarian efforts and entrepreneurial endeavors which have affected so many Honduran citizens and their communities.
Our campaign will focus on three overarching objectives:
Raise global awareness about Sister's life saving work
Inspire people to help support her mission with fiscal sponsorship
Cement her powerful legacy by ensuring that her organization can continue her mission of advocating for, and protecting, Honduran children.
Sister Maria Rosa Leggol
“Once I had a group of young people who were so rebellious. I gave them some pencil and paper and told them ‘we will write anything that’s bothering us on this paper.’ And we burned those pieces of paper. Our past is now ashes…now we are going to start living a new life.”
ABOUT SAN

ENTREPRENEURIAL
PROGRAMS
SAN supports programs that contribute to the eradication of poverty in Honduras, through the formulation and execution of entrepreneurial projects that create an impact in the community.
CRISIS RESPONSE
SAN engages in emergency relief and crisis response efforts to support the local communities that they serve in times of crisis.
COMMUNITY CARE
SAN centers their efforts in community care, providing support services to individuals and families to ensure that the community is thriving.
SUPPORT GIRLS EDUCATION
Reyes Irene Valenzuela School for Girls in Tegucigalpa is a secondary school that educates and empowers young women in Honduras. Coming from extreme poverty and vulnerable situations, at Reyes Irene these girls receive top quality education, as well as healthcare, legal support, and technical and vocational training.
Educating girls transforms families, communities, and countries. As part of the film release, we're raising funds to support Reyes Irene and their mission to give access to education to girls in Honduras.
We're partnering with Honduran Children's Rescue Fund to raise funds through the end of 2023.
