Aire Limpio Honduras

The award will support the drafting of Honduras’ first comprehensive Clean Air Law while building public awareness through the deployment of 50 affordable PM2.5 monitors and an educational platform reaching across 100 schools. By combining scientific evidence with grassroots engagement, the project aims to  transform how Honduras addresses air pollution, moving from a country with almost no air quality monitoring to one with clear standards and legal protections for clean air.

In Honduras, only two out of 298 municipalities had reliable air quality monitors before we began our work. Through this project and prior efforts, we aim to change that reality by expanding air quality monitoring to 80 additional communities and using this data to create Honduras’ first Clean Air Law. We’re not just installing monitors – we’re building a movement that connects data with policy action. By engaging schools, local governments, and Congress, we’re working to ensure every Honduran’s right to breathe clean air becomes protected by law.
