Volunteer Travel Honduras

HIV/AIDS Projects

Recently, Honduras has begun to experience rapid growth in HIV infections, accounting for nearly 60 percent of all cases reported in Central America. Roughly 80 percent of all reported cases are attributable to heterosexual transmission, and studies indicate that between 1 and 4 percent of pregnant women have been infected with the virus. In partnership with various local schools, Rustic Volunteer Travel strives to advance adolescent reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention. Loving, caring volunteers are needed to work as mentors in attempt to reach the maximum number of people possible; especially the younger generation and the children who are even more vulnerable to this deadly disease. Volunteers can gain instant gratification by knowing that they helped to reduce the stigma of being HIV-positive and combated discrimination.

Arrival Point:

La Ceiba International Airport- Honduras

Airport Pick-up:

Upon the receipt of your flight information, our in-country coordinator or other project staff will greet the volunteers in the airport and take you to your project site. The address and telephone number of the local contact hotel will be given before departure just in case volunteers miss our representative in the airport. Please make sure to e-mail your flight information to both the USA office and the local in-country coordinator's office.

Departure Point:

La Ceiba International Airport- Honduras

Airport Drop:

Rarely, a few do request an escort back to the airport; this is an extra expense of about $75.  Most are very familiar and comfortable with their stay and have great ease taking their own taxi or bus back to the airport.
