Project Overview

In September 2024, Fabretto wrapped up a major project with our local partner BAYAN in Honduras, financed as Project HO-326 by the Inter-American Foundation with counterpart funding from other generous donors over the past two years.

Together with community members and leaders of the Sistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial program, Fabretto and BAYAN collaborated to strengthen SAT through three different components: (1) Technology Integration & Improvement of STEM Learning in SAT; (2) Expansion of the Gender Equity Program in Honduras; and (3) Institutional Strengthening of BAYAN and its capacity to share out its impact.
