Your Fundraising Campaign starts here!
Together we can do great things! Fundraising helps us to join forces with those working towards rescuing girls from abject poverty, abuse, and neglect. Your efforts allow us to provide a safe home, providing access to education, protecting those who need it, and helping families lift themselves out of poverty.
How To Plan A Fundraiser
Step 1:
Rally Your Networks
We’re firm believers that there is power in numbers. Reach out to the people you see everyday, whether it’s friends and family, members of your community group, sports team, work colleagues, or your congregation, and let them know that you’re raising funds to support Our Little Roses.

Step 4:
Become an Expert
Use our Toolkit to learn more about OLR’s work, and tell your friends and family about it, too. And if you’ve been to Honduras before, use your own experiences to captivate your followers!
Toolkit
- Video – Share one of our YouTube Videos on Facebook, Twitter, or via e-mail. Here are a few we recommend:
- Heather’s Story
- Voices Beyond the Wall Trailer
- Counting Time Like People Count Stars Trailer
- BBC World News – The Poetry of Girls of San Pedro Sula
- Customize your very own fundraising page!
- Pictures – Check out our Facebook page for a collection of photos that tell the story of our work.
- Latest Newsletter – Our most recent newsletter has stories of hope and progress from on the ground in Honduras.
- Create your own Personal Fundraising Page. – You can personalize your page, add a fundraising thermometer and get all of your friends and family to help you reach your fundraising goals.
- Get your congregation involved! – Speak to your community about having an “Our Little Rose Day” perhaps twice a year (around your sponsored girl’s birthday and start of the school year). Create a visual by printing out information on your girl. Let your community know things like how old she is turning, how she is doing in school, what her favorite subject is…we can always help with information if you need it. And don’t forget to ask for donations to help fund her sponsorship!
Let us help.
