Over 660 Million people around the world still drink dirty water. People without access to clean drinking water become ill, miss out on school, make less money, and can even die from water borne disease.

The Connect Global Team was able to provide 3 new concrete floors for families in San Lorenzo, Honduras.
Dirt floors are very common in many parts of the world. In Honduras, many homes have very simple walls and a roof, but many of the homes are lacking a very basic, important element— a concrete floor.
En 2015, Connect Global lanzó una iniciativa en Honduras que llamamos Comunidad Conectada. Como parte de nuestro continuo apoyo e inversión en la Comunidad de La Ceiba, Honduras, nuestro equipo proporcionó una capacitación de 2 días para varios miembros del departamento de policía local. Desde entonces, también nos hemos comprometido con los departamentos de bomberos de La Ceiba y El Porvenir para proporcionar trajes contra incendios, equipos médicos y otro tipo de apoyo relacionado con el trabajo.
Jorge Amador, our friend, and partner has been serving with us since 2004. We are asking for our friends to keep him in their prayers this week as he travels through Central & South America.
Help Connect Global Pray for our Friend Jorge as He Travels this Week
Jorge is departing today and will be traveling through Central America and South America over the next couple of weeks. There are some demonstrations and protesting still going on that makes travel a little more difficult and we are monitoring his movements closely and communicating with him along the way.
Please help us by agreeing to keep him in your prayers.
Jorge Amador, National Director for Honduras for Connect Global
Jorge has always been ready to serve in any capacity needed. His wisdom, charisma, and compassion make him an immediate friend to everyone he encounters. His loyalty make him a friend you want to keep..
Jorge is a valuable asset to our leadership in Honduras and has greatly augmented our efforts. He has supervised several projects such as our recently completed water well in El Tamarindo, and he along with his wife Janeth will be our first points of contact in our upcoming Maternity Home Project in La Ceiba .
Thank You, Jorge and family, for all of your hard work.

In 2015, Connect Global launched an initiative in Honduras we call Connected Community. As a part of our ongoing support and investment into the Community of La Ceiba, Honduras our teams have provided several rounds of gear donations, a 2-day training for members of the local police department, and we have also engaged with the Fire Departments of La Ceiba, and El Porvenir to provide fire suits and other job related support.
The Connect Global Team has been investing in Aquaponics since our inception. On our First Official Trip as 'Connect Global' to Cusuna, we built 5 aquaponic systems. We have learned a lot since then, and our friend and partner Jorge Amador has built many more and taught several people his skills as well. We plan to build and facilitate an Aquaponic Training Center in Honduras in 2019.
The Connect Global Team is very excited about the progress of the Maternity Home Ministry as well as the building and construction efforts which are scheduled to be complete in Summer 2019.
The Connect Global team is overjoyed with the amazing work that has been done on the Maternity Home in La Ceiba, Honduras. Thank You!
This home is nearly complete and we could not be more excited to begin our ministry efforts inside the newly built facility. In March (2019) the Connect Global staff had an opportunity to finalize the contract with the hospital administration which will allow us to begin the operations for the Maternity Home as soon as the construction is finalized. We are so grateful for everyone who has donated and been a part of this journey.
We were able to tour the Maternity Home today with our current mission team. Tomorrow is one of the final construction related inspections and we expect to be able to begin staffing immediately.
The rooms are beautiful and it is apparent that great attention was paid to every detail. From the foundation to the roof, every facet of the construction of this building is done with excellence.
This Maternity Home allows Connect Global the access to serve both moms and newborns with great care and dignity while sharing the good news of Jesus with employees, hospital staff and each mom and their children.
Our focus and intention has always been on the relationships we can build within this facility through the operation of this Maternity Home Ministry.
We want to thank you for your prayer and support as we continue to invest in this ministry over the coming weeks, months and years. Thank You for sharing the vision and for joining in this cause. We are truly better together and we could never express our gratitude sufficiently.
Thank you for all of your prayer and your support!

Today is not only a celebration of women’s achievements but also a day to remember that there is still much work to do to elevate, promote, and honor women for their contributions across all disciplines and in every sector of life around the world.
