Sea la Luz at a Glance
Sea la Luz is a Catholic 501(c)3 non-profit charity whose mission is to provide educational and healthcare access to the poor in Honduras through direct scholarships, medical financial aid, and mentor relationships.
What we do
Sea la Luz means "be the light" in Spanish. Our scholarship and financial aid recipients are a LIGHT in their communities! They model hard work, pursuit of education, and care for the sick. Our donors partner with us to answer Jesus' call to see Him in the most vulnerable: the young, the poor, and the sick.
Educational Scholarships
We provide scholarships to students who show financial need, devotion to their studies, and a desire to help their community. We provide these deserving students with financial aid for uniforms, transportation, school supplies, and tuition stipends.
Urgent Healthcare Support
Rural Hondurans often struggle to access affordable healthcare. We provide individuals with assistance for necessary medical interventions. We evaluate each case individually. Some of the many health care needs we have helped meet include treatment for cancer, prenatal care, epilepsy treatment, antibiotics for infections, and hardware for those with mobility needs (prosthetic/wheelchair, etc).
