BASED/DFID (SAT Final Evaluation, June 2002)
“The evaluation team unanimously believes the DFID project has been a complete success.”
Irish International Development Agency (2003)
"After a thorough evaluation of Honduran NGOs, Bayán was selected as one of four main organizations to be a part of a consortium with which the IIDA cooperates."
Importance of Collaboration
Any important undertaking requires the association and participation with different organizations and institutions. The SAT program's service-oriented activities are opportunities to participate with other organizations while extending the reach and improving the quality of the program itself. In such an atmosphere, we are able to undertake initiatives that are well-received by the people and the Honduran government.
There are many opportunities to support and participate in this process of learning and service. Opportunities depend on the talents and interests of the people and institutions involved. Support may be offered using intellectual, professional, and/or material resources and according to the needs of a particular program.
Financial Support
Since its inception in 1986, the Bayán Association has benefited from direct donations from various communities and individuals, as well as from its own founders.
