Project Transformation



Project Transformation is an extension of Washington Cathedral’s mission… to build the greatest caring network the world has ever seen. We are going to the poorest of the poor to fulfill our mission.
Project Transformation is much more than the name for our work in Honduras. It is a goal. It is an ideal. It is a dream. It is a dream of a better world. It is a dream where there are no children working and living in a garbage dump. It is a dream about babies safe and cared for in a clean nursery, and not in cardboard boxes on top of garbage. It is a dream of children receiving an education and not digging through trash. It is a dream of health care and treatment for families instead of malnutrition and disease. It is a dream of happiness and hope instead of destitution and misery. Finally, it is a dream of God’s presence and justice prevailing instead of evil.
The first goal of Project Transformation is to see God’s hand working in the garbage dump of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. We believe God will radically transform the lives of the people living and working in the garbage dump. We also believe God will radically transform the structure of the garbage dump so that it is a safe, secure, and hygienic location for adults to work.
