The mothers we serve at Casita Copán, many of whom never received formal education and were victims of trauma and abuse in their childhoods, are trapped in low-paying jobs as domestic workers. In a rural community without adequate support services, single mothers have nowhere to turn for resources, and this can lead to child abandonment. In the community of Copán Ruinas, a close-knit town known for its famous Mayan ruins, we believe that it is possible to change the lives of the women and children who need it most.
