121 is partnered with Orphan Outreach in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in a ministry to at risk children and their families who live in and around a large garbage dump.

Our efforts will be coordinated with local churches, leaders, and missionaries working with a school near the dump. 

The AFE School (Amor, Fe, Esperanza = Love, Faith, Hope) provides a Christ-centered education and hope for a better future for children whose families have been mired in extreme poverty for generations. Check out Orphan Outreach's AFE School Profile.

There are particular justice issues in the dump such as child labor, sexual exploitation, and abuse, along with the lack of access to education, that served as a launch point for the Amos Project.

Prayer is absolutely essential as we seek justice! Here you can commit to regular prayer for Orphan Outreach: Partner in prayer with Orphan Outreach
