Fincas Escolares

About us

Farms that
feed schools.

Fincas Escolares is a Central American nonprofit, founded in Honduras in 2026. Our mission is simple: one nutritious meal, every school day, for every public-school child.

01 — The problem

Hunger has a cost.
Children pay it first.

A hungry child can't focus, can't grow, can't learn. The whole country feels it.

1in4

children under five in Honduras face chronic malnutrition.

63%

of Hondurans live in poverty.

$618M

lost every year to malnutrition. That's 2.7% of the country's GDP.

02 — What we believe

A hungry child can't learn.
A fed child can.

School should be the one place every child is sure to eat. We connect local farms to public schools so that a hot meal is part of every school day, not a lucky one.

One meal Every school day Every child
03 — Our model

Not charity.
A system that feeds itself.

Every part of the chain stays local. Every part helps pay for the next meal.

We grow it.

Our own farms, plus local farmers who get a steady buyer and a fair price.

We cook it.

We build a kitchen in each school. Cooks and drivers come from the community.

We fund it.

Donations, partners and our own products, like Café Escolares. 90% of shop profits go back to the mission.
