Our Mission

Mayor Potencial goes the distance to serve destitute rural Honduran communities and develop lasting partnerships for lasting impact. We inspire volunteers to disseminate social change and empower youth in Honduras through education. At the heart of our mission is the voice of those we serve.

Health Clinic

This health clinic will provide the much needed free medical and dental care as well as free medications. Currently the nearest hospital is 4 hours away in Tegucigalpa. Through the construction of this free clinic we will provide services not only to El Rodeito but to all the nearby communities in the southern region of Honduras.

Hurricane Relief

On November 3rd 2020, Hurricane Eta hit Honduras and devastated the country. The torrential rain has caused flooding and landslides. According to CARE International, nearly 400,000 people have lost their homes.

Mayor Potencial will be collaborating with other local nonprofits and organizations to raise funds for food care packages, blankets, clothing and other necessities. Read more here.

Literacy Project with Cinco Books

Mayor Potencial is excited to continue our partnership with Cinco Books. We recently provided books, meals, and read stories to the children in need in Aldea SOS. In September 2023 we will be providing a free little library for more than 70 children in this village. To read more about this project, visit here.

Locally: Cuenta Cuentos (Spanish Storytime)

Families with children of all ages are invited to join us for Spanish Storytime at the Tompkins County Public Library once a month! Enjoy songs, rhymes and stories in Spanish, as well as a fun activity. Check out our local projects, in Tompkins and Cortland Counties, New York
