In its 30+ years, Shoulder to Shoulder has expanded incredibly to service the entire 'Frontera' municipalities of Santa Lucia, San Antonio, Magdalena, Camasca, Colomoncagua, Concepción and San Marcos de La Sierra in southern, rural Intibucá, Honduras. Below are some maps that visualize our exact geographical location in relation to northern Central America and where each program is located.
Hombro a Hombro (HaH) and Shoulder to Shoulder (StS) are two separate legal non-profits. HaH focuses on being the sole third-party servicer of government clinics and healthcare for the large 'Frontera' territory. StS focuses on Education, Community Development, Nutrition, and Medical Brigades.
