Strategic Priorities
Targeted improvement in Medical & Dental Health:
“In addition to supporting a full-time clinic, we target at-risk segments of the population for special attention. Examples include sex education for teens, men’s health, home health care for elders, community-based birth control, and feeding programs for at-risk little children.” Sue Burgos, Chair of ACTS Clinic Committee and Vice President
Supporting Farmers with Education and Resources
“The drought in 2026 is threatening the entirety of subsistence farming in our catchment area. We have supplied a Food Security Fund that families are using to set up compact plots of beans that can be hand watered to combat hunger.” Heather Bryant, ACTS Agriculture Committee
Improving Public Health & Infrastructure
“A generous larger gift in 2026 funded rehabilitation of the decrepit community water system in El Rosario. With local folks contributing the manual labor and a Honduran NGO providing the how-to, every home has potable water, which makes a huge difference in convenience and health.” Jeff Prileson, ACTS Treasurer
Quality Education for All
“Small rural communities each have a concrete block primary school with a teacher on a government salary and no educational materials. In 2026, ACTS went all-in, buying a full set of new books for every child in all 11 schools in our catchment area. Teachers, students, and parents are thrilled. The books will be used for five years.” Matt Garton, ACTS Education Committee Chair
Mentoring Local Leaders
“We look for opportunities to help local leaders and committees to think creatively about solutions to problems or ways to improve what’s going well. ACTS funding makes change and improvement possible.” Linda Kennedy, ACTS President
Support our work in El Rosario
ACTS depends almost entirely on individual donations of time, supplies, and dollars in order to further our work.
