  • As many as 115 million primary school age children and 226 million secondary school age youth do not attend school in developing nations around the world.
  • Educated girls and women are less vulnerable to HIV infection, human trafficking and exploitation.

Building futures with your support. On the left, Oscar is being lovingly cared for by Whitney Warner—missionary for many years in Honduras and founder of EEI. On the right, that same child stands tall, graduating from high school. This is what consistent support does. This is education turning care into calling, and hope into a future.

It’s incredible what happens when many hearts choose to act. Over the past few years, more than 150 children in Uganda have been sponsored, gaining access to education, care, and new opportunities for their future. This is already happening. And more children still need help. Sponsor a child. Change a life.

in four is not a statistic. It’s a name, a face, a future waiting for a desk instead of the streets. Education is not a privilege — it’s a lifeline. And together, we can pull children back into the classroom and into hope. Because when education enters, poverty loses ground.

Every year we mail a letter to all EEI sponsors. This includes an updated picture, a letter from your sponsored child, a letter from the EEI board and an updated financial transparency document. Letters from the children from Honduras were send just before Christmas and from Uganda were sent just before New Year’s. We encourage you to write your child. We help facilitate communication between children and sponsors as often as you’d like. Just email us at info@empoweringeducationinternational.com We often hear from sponsors that they feel bad that they don’t write their kid more often or feel like they don’t what to say. Don’t… your support and connection to them is a huge blessing to them. But yes, they also love hearing from you. It can be as simple as – ‘Thank you for sending us the card. We are praying for you. Here is a picture of our family from the holidays.

As the year comes to a close, we would like to highlight two specific needs and invite you to consider supporting: (1) The ‘EEI Staff Support’ fund - This fund supports the part-time roles of four people - Sean Warner, Isabel Hawkins, Cindy Hendrickson, and Ramon Flores. We have been running on a deficit in this category and hence have to use the EEI General Fund to complement this fund. - One note to add on this - We are very proud that only 6% of our costs go to admin roles. (2) Sponsorship in Uganda - We are very much in need of more sponsorships for kids at the Double Hope school in Idudi, Uganda. We would love for you to help support the incredible work God is doing through Julius and Sarah and the staff there to transform the lives of kids coming from very impoverished families. (see link to giving in bio) Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about how to give or what the needs are. Thank you!

From a little girl with a dream to a professional shaping the future. Karen’s story is proof that when faith, perseverance, and community walk together, impossible quietly steps aside. Today she stands as an engineer, but more than that, as a testimony of what happens when someone is seen, believed in, and accompanied with love through the years. This is why we do what we do. This is why education matters. This is why hope is worth investing in. “Thank you God, thanks Llamado Eterno Church, thank you Empowering Education International, and thank you to my sponsors Andrew Wischmeyer and his wife for trusting in me, for watching me grow and walking with me throughout my entire education. Thank you for believing that the little girl you first received would achieve her goal. Today I give glory to God because it was possible, and I thank you with all my heart because you were part of my process.”

We’d like to take this opportunity to highlight a need and a celebration. We are now only $9k short to complete the construction of the third story of the Llamado Eterno Christian School in Honduras. We invite you be a part of the generosity that is flowing this Giving Tuesday and click the link in bio to donate to help us finish off this project: It was way back in 2019 that we pitched the vision of a complete Llamado Eterno school with classrooms to support kids from pre-k through high school. Phase one of that was to put a second story on top of the garages for classrooms. Generosity flowed and the building has transformed in incredible ways. Now we are adding the last few needed classrooms as a third story above those garages. We are almost there! God is good!

In Honduras, less than half of young people make it to high school. Not because they lack talent - but because opportunity runs out before they do. We believe every child deserves the chance to keep learning, dreaming, and building a better future. 💛 Education can change a story — and together, we can rewrite thousands.

Cindy ~ Eight years ago, when I first visited Double Hope on our LCC vision trip, there were only three small classrooms with dirt floors that flooded whenever it rained—and one simple latrine. Now, on my fourth trip, I can hardly believe what I see: so many new buildings, electricity, running water, and almost 300 children wearing uniforms, shoes, and smiles that shine with health and joy. God has been so faithful to Double Hope. He continues to open hearts to care for these children, and to show them His love every single day. All praise to Him. 💛

Yesterday, Pastor Arturo, Pra Ruth, and a team from @ccellamadoeterno visited the community of Los Robles, which has been completely cut off after the bridge collapsed. To cross, families must use a chair tied to a rope — their only way to reach the other side. Still, help made it across. The team went to check on the families and children, bringing food supplies since access has become difficult and prices have risen. Even in hardship, hope always finds a way through.

At Empowering Education International, we believe that education is the most powerful way to break the cycle of poverty. It doesn’t just change minds—it transforms futures. In every classroom across Honduras, there are children dreaming of becoming teachers, doctors, and leaders. Each one carries a story that deserves to be rewritten. Education gives them the tools to rise above hardship, to imagine a different tomorrow, and to build it with their own hands. 📚✏️ When a child learns, their hope grows, their future expands, and their community is strengthened. That’s why we keep believing, investing, and building schools that shine as beacons of light in the midst of need. Because while poverty may have many roots, education remains its deepest cure. 💛🇭🇳

Michele from @lighthouse.community.church had the chance to go on the Double hope trip for the first time and had this to say - “A highlight for me was reading to the children. I read a book about Jesus and his ministry. I was impressed by the knowledge the children have of the bible. The highlight for me was seeing all the smiles and the amazement in their sweet faces seeing the pictures in the book. I shared a lesson as well on how Jesus died for our sins. A teacher later shared with me that many of the children want to follow Jesus.” God is doing amazing things at Double Hope!

We are grateful to Hosanna Fellowship and Jubilee Church for welcoming us, and to everyone who joined to learn more about the sponsorship program. 💛

What we learn when serving on mission trips in Honduras 🇭🇳 We learn that love grows deeper when it is shared. We learn that joy is found not in possessions, but in people. We learn that unity makes us stronger, and that even the smallest act of kindness can carry eternal impact. Serving in community reminds us that mission is not just about giving it’s about receiving lessons of humility, resilience, and hope from those we walk alongside. Every trip shapes us, every story transforms us, and every moment reminds us that God is at work through His people. 💛

Here are just a few reasons we value these trips ( though we could go on for a few more pages if you’d like…. 😜) (1) The teams that run these ministries always finish these visits very encouraged. Ministry is hard. These moments to step back and celebrate all God is doing are so important. (2) Hearts change when people step out of their comfort zone and visit another place to be a part of ministering to people of extreme need. We have seen this over and over again. (3) One of our roles as EEI is accountability. Though we work with people of amazing character, we still work hard to ensure we can account for how every dollar that is donated.

Hello, my name is David Maradiaga, I am 11 years old and I am in fifth grade. I like studying at Llamado Eterno school because they teach us about the Bible and the teachers take care of us. When I grow up, I want to be a police officer to protect the city. I go to Llamado Eterno Church with my mom and my sister, and one day I would like to be the drummer of the church to exalt the name of God. I have many dreams, and I am going to achieve them by working hard and with God’s help.

What an amazing trip to Double Hope so far. We will be sharing much more soon but for now here are some shots of their time together. Most of the group has left for a few final days of tourism while the three from Lighthouse stay at Double Hope a couple extra days. These will be some key days for them to work on some improvements for EEI. - They just installed WiFi at Double Hope - Cindy brought a scanner and will be working with them on a new format for the end of year letters. - This will help this work to be less complicated more timely. We really want sponsors and kids to feel connected. The need surrounding Double Hope is great. But the vision God gave Pastor Julius and Sarah is starting to come tog in new and exciting ways - to empower these kids to build a better future for themselves.

Our Mission

Empowering Education International connects families struggling or unable to pay for the costs of schooling with families desiring to help.

We believe in addressing the needs of the WHOLE CHILD, the WHOLE FAMILY and the WHOLE COMMUNITY.

First, we address the financial obstacles preventing the child from attending school by offering a complete scholarship. This pays for a complete uniform, registration costs, school supplies, daily transportation to school and daily lunch money.

In many locations, we provide tutoring classes afterschool to all the children to not only go to school, but experience success.

However, knowing that true change comes only through Christ, we work with the local church to minister to these families and meet not only their physical needs, but also their spiritual and emotional ones as well.

Don't Delay. Change a Child's Life Now...
