Honduras Trip - March 6-9, 2011

A team from RetailROI went to Honduras in partnership with LifeSong for Orphans to scout for the purpose of building a computer lab for a school of 550 children.  Honduras is one of the most impoverished countries in the western hemisphere and currently experiences unemployment rates as high as 70%.  The software solution being installed was donated by Microsoft and allows for 59 workstations to be networked and on the internet.  Currently the school only has 5 workstations connected to the internet. 

A second trip is planned April 6-9th if you would like to go and help.  Please contact us.

Some of the children in Honduras that will benefit from our programs.

SuperSaturday 2011

SuperSaturday raises nearly $300,000 for orphan care.

Approximately 200 C-level retail executives, vendors and retail industry influencers came together for RetailROI's "Super Saturday" research event in New York on Jan. 8, 2011, raising nearly $300,000 for orphan care.

Super Saturday, held the day before the annual NRF Show, brought together retail's most prominent thinkers for a day of predictions, insight and analysis. Proceeds from the one-of-a-kind event, underwritten by sponsors and free to retailers, are already at work helping to serve vulnerable children around the world. The funds are being used to:

  • Build the first school in Marshall, Liberia, in partnership with Lifesong for Orphans, so that 84 kids can go to school for the first time since the end of the civil war. The project is underway and scheduled for completion in March.
  • Build a computer lab in Honduras to serve 450 children. This project was made possible exclusively by vendor tie-ins at NRF. A group of 10 retailers and analysts from RetailROI are going to Honduras to install this lab at the end of February.
  • Help build the Joseph School, a school for 350 orphaned children to train the next generation ofleaders in Haiti.
  • Provide flooring, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers for the Starfish Foster Home for special-needs orphans in China, allowing them to move up to 50 special needs children into a new home after losing their lease.
  • Help complete the Cornerstone Children's Home in Southern Sudan, so that 84 children orphaned from the war and HIV can be brought into a safe, protected and loving environment.
  • Extend the Safe Families Program to more cities in the U.S., providing children a safe, secure alternative to foster care. 
  • Help Show Hope provide training and curriculum for families adopting from hard places, to help them better connect to their children.
