You can show your support by sponsoring a girl or by contributions for general or specific purposes, such as for construction or for the girls' school tuition.etc.
There are many ways to support Our Little Roses, but one of the most valuable is to sponsor a girl. This gives the home an assurance of a steady source of support for a girl for several years -- hopefully until she becomes an adult. Sponsorships are $720 per year, which may seem like a lot, but paid quarterly ($180) or monthly ($60) is quite manageable.
If you sponsor a girl, you will receive a certificate and a photo. You are encouraged to correspond with the girl you sponsor, and she will reply. Please understand, however, that as with other busy young women, letters may not arrive quite as soon as you might wish.
Another possibility is to accept responsibility for tuition for one of the girls at Holy Family Bilingual School or at university.
We can now accept donations on line as well:
Our Little Roses Ministries (OLRM) in Honduras is linked with Our Little Roses Foreign Mission Society (OLRFMS), Inc. in the United States as a non-profit mission organization to support the ministries in Honduras.

What is Gift Cards For A Cause?
Gift Cards For A Cause (GCFC) is a for-profit organization located just outside of Charlotte, NC. Our mission is to help raise money for worthy causes across the globe by providing consumers and corporations a way to support their favorite causes, with virtually no impact on their pocketbooks or bottom lines. In addition, we work with other non-profit organizations to help promote their cause and increase awareness and support.
How it Works
Developed specifically as a fundraising tool for non-profit organizations, GCFC is a unique program that allows consumers
to support their favorite non-profit organization throughout the year simply by shopping for ever day needs like groceries, clothing, and casual dining, as well as items for the home, family, vacation, and special occasions that call for gift giving.
Each time a shopper purchases gift cards, e-cards, or gift certificates from GCFC, up to 17% of their purchase is donated to a
501(c)3 non-profit organization that they have chosen to support. Customers then use the gift cards to make their everyday purchases that they would otherwise be paying for with cash or credit card. For example, if you spend $100 per week in cash at the grocery store, why not purchase a $100 gift card to your local grocery store from GCFC and, at the same time, donate a few dollars to your favorite non-profit? Why it works
In 2010, consumers spent more than $90 billion on gift cards. How much of this could be going to your favorite non-profit organization?
If an average family spends $800 per month on groceries, gasoline, clothing and household items, and another $140 on dining out and entertainment, they could be donating approximately $375 per year to their favorite organization. Add in hotel stays for vacations, gifts and special occasions, and they could be donating well over $500 per year, per family.
Now suppose everyone in your company, school, neighborhood, church, or other organization did the same? If 100 families participated, they could easily raise as much as $25,000 - $60,000 per year for your cause This is appealing because it
does not require consumers to spend additional money, yet still enables them to make a donation. Everyone wins!
How do we go to Market
Non-Profit Partners—GCFC partners with local and national non-profit organizations as an integrated part of their marketing
and fundraising strategy. As a partner, these organizations are listed on the site as one of the organizations that benefit from the proceeds of the program. In return for their participation, the sponsored partner agrees to market the GCFC program through their own marketing efforts, in whatever way makes sense, to raise awareness and help raise funds for their organization. GCFC works with each organization, offering fundraising ideas and support material to help increase awareness of the organizations cause and how to support their efforts through our program.
There is no cost to participate as a non-profit partner.
Corporate Partners— GCFC partners with corporations to help them promote their corporate social responsibility programs throughout their organization with employees, as well as throughout their community and with their customers. By encouraging your employees, vendors, customers and community to purchase from GiftCardsForaCause.com, corporations can exponentially increase the amount of donations made to the organization it supports. As we do with our non-profit partners, GCFC works with our corporate partners to help make the program a success within the organization.
