Why You Should Join Us

We believe the strongest philanthropy is built on trust, conversation, and shared learning. We don’t just want you to hear about LMI’s work—we want you to engage, ask questions, and be part of the conversation about the future of women’s leadership in Honduras.

Across the country, LMI supporters are hosting People Over Projects gatherings that bring our community together around the stories of women leading change.

Join us to connect with fellow supporters, hear firsthand stories from LMI graduates, and see what becomes possible when we invest in people—not just projects. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of LMI’s approach and the role each of us can play in building lasting, locally led change.

Why We're Gathering

A project can meet an immediate need. Lasting change happens when local leaders have the skills, confidence, and opportunity to carry that work forward.

1

Projects Meet a Need

A road, school, business, or community initiative can solve something tangible today.

2

People Make It Last

Local leaders listen, organize resources, build trust, and steward progress over time.

3

Communities Thrive

When women lead, solutions grow from within the community and create change that endures.

People Over Projects celebrates the women behind lasting change in Honduras.

Can't Attend?

Calendar

You can still be part of People Over Projects and help invest in women leading lasting change.

A Preview of What You'll Hear at Our Events

Karla's Story

Today, Karla serves as LMI's Country Director, leading hundreds of women changemakers across Honduras. But she never imagined this would be her story. 

Growing up in a large family, Karla couldn't find work to provide. She was preparing to cross the US border when she decided to go into LMI's program instead. This changed her entire trajectory, and now Karla is determined to build systems that allow more young women like her to stay in their communities. '

Come to one of our events to hear the rest of Karla's story and her vision for women's leadership!
