Mission Statement
The Foundation for Education in Honduras (FEIH) is a charitable organization with the mission of providing education to children in high-need areas of rural Honduras. Several years ago Ramiro Ocasio, the founder of the foundation, began making trips to communities in his home country to bring basic supplies, food and water to those in need. During his trips, he realized that these gifts made a big difference in the short term, but to really change Honduras in the long term he would need to attack the root problem – education. With the help of Jon Henes, a partner at the law firm where Ramiro works, he was able to raise funds and completely refurbish and enhance an existing school. For the first time in the Finca Cuatro community, not one student dropped out. Jon saw this success, along with Ramiro's passion and dedication, and helped him form FEIH, which as of September 23, 2014 became an official 501(c)(3) charity.
