Welcome
Jugamos is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to improving the overall health of children in Honduras through education and play!
The power of sport reaches all over the globe, crossing barriers of language, culture, gender and religion. Through participation in sport and play, children learn valuable life lessons such as fair play, cooperation, leadership and tolerance. At the same time, participation in physical exercise improves overall health by decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and other life threatening ailments. Finally, through sport and play participation, children can be educated on critical health issues, such as HIV/AIDS and proper nutrition.
Jugamos is a strong proponent of the UN Declaration which states that all children should have the right to play, therefore this is the major force driving our projects in Honduras. With the help of the schools we work with and our partners in Copán Ruinas, we have designed projects that offer children education on health, nutrition, and hygiene as well as time to take part in fun, activities which are great for their minds as well as their overall fitness. Our main objective, is to provide the all children their right to play!
