Our Little Roses provides a full-time residential home for abused, abandoned, and neglected girls in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. We are dedicated to transforming these broken lives into productive, joyful young women.

The girls who arrive at Our Little Roses come from overwhelming situations of abject poverty, physical or sexual abuse, abandonment, and oppression. They are infants, toddlers, young girls, and teenagers. They have endured extreme neglect, abandonment, and abuse.

Our sponsors become extended family to our girls and bring love, joy, and hope to a young girl who has only known hurt, pain, hunger, and fear. Our Little Roses is committed to helping these girls to experience the childhood that every girl deserves; a childhood full of love and joy.

Our Little Roses REST Center

Many of our girls who graduate from high school go on to pursue extended education opportunities such as technical school, trade school, college, or university in order to enhance their learning and reach their goals. The REST Center is a dedicated onsite living-learning center designed to meet the daily living and study needs of those girls. At the REST Center, the young women working on their post-secondary education can continue to live in a safe, loving community while participating in a “work-study” program at the home. They are able to earn money by helping the younger girls with homework or by working as teaching assistants for our special education teacher and at Holy Family Bilingual School. Our REST Center girls also have the opportunity to earn money by helping our Tias with the daily care of the girls. This program is designed to teach these young women how to manage their finances, their living space, and to develop the time management skills needed to become essential and functioning members of society.

Medical & Dental Clinics

Further extending its outreach to the community and beyond, Our Little Roses Ministries provides off-site medical and dental clinics that serve both the Home and individuals in the community who may not have access to medical and dental care. In addition, medical and dental mission teams frequently collaborate with the clinic staffs to schedule medical mission trips into the most impoverished and remote areas in and around San Pedro Sula and the retreat center in Petoa.

Schilling-Weeks Training Center

The Schilling-Weeks Retreat/Training Center was built in 2011 and is located about an hour from Our Little Roses main Campus, at Pueblo Nuevo, Santa Barbara. The Retreat Center is a beautiful oasis for our girls, for the local community, for mission groups, and so much more. During the summer and on school breaks, when the heat in the city is intense, the girls are able to take a vacation, with a beautiful river close by and cool mountain breezes, everyone comes back refreshed and rested.

Situated in a remote, slightly elevated area, the Center is available for rent for business/professional or spiritual retreats, weddings, quinceaneras, reunions, and so much more. The location offers an atmosphere of peace that invites periods of meditation, reflection and relaxation.

Amenities at the Center include an outdoor patio area with covered tables, authentic Honduran rocking chairs on a covered veranda, an on-site full time caretaker and cook, a generator to provide continuous electricity, room air conditioners and an organic garden which provides fresh fruit and vegetables for the Home and the marketplace.

The main floor of the Center has a large gathering space, dining room, kitchen as well as the Our Lady of the Roses Chapel*. The second floor has room to sleep up to forty-two guests. Each room has a private bath and air conditioning with balcony rooms available on the north side of the building.
