CASM is an ecumenical organization that contributes to strengthening the democratization and local and regional development of Honduras. They promote citizen participation in civil society sectors by establishing a relationship of respect and practicing dialog and consultation with local governments. They base their mission on a Christian ethic focusing on the human development of the poorest families and communities in Honduras. CASM’s vision is to become an NGO that accompanies Mennonite processes of integral human development based on ethical values as Christians, focusing on human rights. Their mission is to assist and accompany families and social organizations committed to transforming the country for a more just society. As part of this work, CASM accompanies both internally displaced migrants and those migrants who are returning to Honduras because their efforts to immigrate to the United States were denied and offers them support, education, accesses to employment, and housing to aid them in re-establishing their lives.
