About Project 541

Project 541 is an organization committed to supporting and empowering children in La Moskitia, Honduras, a remote region where resources are limited. Established in 2013 by our Executive Director, Kayla Austin, Project 541 began operating programs in May 2014. Kayla graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Nonprofit Management in April 2014, and now resides in Tegucigalpa directing the residential program. As we continue our organizational presence in Honduras, our goal is to establish a reputation in Honduras for helping children reach their highest potential. Every child deserves to be safe, fed, educated and loved. Our residents' physical and emotional well being is our top priority. ​

Our Programs

  • We currently have 7 residents in our residential program ranging in age from 7 years - 18 years.  We are currently renting a 3 bedroom house as our residential facility in a gated community to ensure our residents' safety. 
  • All of our residents are attending both public and private school. Their classes are taught primarily in Spanish, but they are learning English at home. During the Covid shut-down from 2020-2022, our children received tutoring  at home to bridge the gap between the education they formerly received and the increased education they are now receiving at their new schools. 
  • One focus of our residential program is medical care. We have three children with serious medical conditions that require monitoring and special treatment. At present, all of our children are healthy and thriving.
