Sunset portrait with WV Honduras communicator Catherine Turcios. Summary: Resources about Yessica in Honduras – a young woman whose life was enriched with knowledge, self-esteem, and a sustainable path forward when World Vision invited her to attend Biblical Empowered Worldview training. Yessica lives with her grandmother, Maria, and her cousin, Marbella, in the municipality of San Marcos, in Ocotepeque, the westernmost department of Honduras. One of the most difficult parts of life for her was overcoming barriers to continuing her education. “To be able to study, [I had] to be able to buy my notebooks and be able to travel to school.” As a 10-year-old, Yessica began sand mining with her dad and her brothers on the weekends. “And that’s how I earned my extra money…that’s how I helped myself,” she says. When June arrived, Yessica had no money. At age 15, she began spending her summers working in other people’s houses, “washing floors, taking care of children, cleaning, doing laundry.” “Then, in 2017, World Vision came into my life.” And things began to change. Yessica attended a World Vision facilitated training group for young people, which kick-started her knowledge of and commitment to farming, and instilled in her a new self-esteem, as she learned how to see her value and potential through God's eyes.. She worked on a coffee farm and attended World Vision's field schools, where she learned how to plant and grow diversified crops of produce. In 2019, she received Biblical Empowered Worldview Training from World Vision, and went on to become a leader and trainer of BEWV in her community. Today, Yessica earns about $404 per month, $4,854 annually. The average income in Honduras is $2,750. With her new income, Yessica has finished building her grandmother’s house, and now pays for water, groceries, her grandmother’s medicine, and even bought a motorcycle.
