A New School and Food Bank in Quimistán, Honduras: 150+ Children Supported Through Church-Led Outreach
A Project Built for the Children Who Need It Most
This post documents a project Bone Tactical funded in the municipality of Quimistán, in the Department of Santa Bárbara, Honduras: the completion of a new school and food bank facility serving children living in extreme poverty.
The purpose is simple: help ensure that children even in the world's most non-permissive environments have access to education, nutrition, and emergency medical support—the kinds of basics that can be the difference between stability and crisis in rural Honduras.
Who Runs the Program
The program is run locally through members of a Church of God congregation in Quimistán. Specifically, it is coordinated by the women’s group at the church. They are the ones doing the day-to-day work on the ground—organizing, assisting families, and keeping the program active amidst difficulties.
My role (Greg Tambone / Bone Tactical) is the primary funding. I’m the “silent partner,” so to speak: providing the financial support that makes the work possible while local leaders run the program directly.
How It Started: A Vision Preserved After Tragedy
The outreach program began with the vision of the pastor’s wife at the local church. She recognized severe needs in the community—malnourishment, lack of school access, and families without the means to handle medical emergencies. She wrote down a plan to help children in practical, organized ways.
Tragically, she was killed the next day by a stray bullet during a gang-related shooting while buying groceries in the nearby town of La Entrada. Her written plan remained. Those papers were passed to the church’s women’s group, who prayed about how to carry it forward—yet they had no funding.
At the same time, I was searching for a trustworthy local program—led by people with integrity—where I could invest the proceeds from my business to make a real impact. Their need for funding and my need for reliable local partners aligned. A very dark event became the foundation for something good.
What Bone Tactical Funds
Bone Tactical is funding this program through business proceeds. I commit 10% of what the business makes (profits and proceeds from sales) to sustaining this outreach.
To keep the message clear: this is not a one-time donation. This is ongoing support intended to keep the program operating and expanding responsibly.
Real Impact: Medical Help, Food, and Schooling
In Honduras, the infrastructure challenges are real: limited services, inconsistent transportation, and families with near-zero financial margin. That reality means that hunger or a medical emergency can become life-threatening quickly.
One example: a young girl in a very poor local "aldea" where I first lived and worked in a small rented house before I had any real business success, and during a period of time while I was seeking political asylum, was diagnosed with leukemia. I remember her always being very malnourished and small even for her young age, but also she seemed to always have a smile on her face. When the cancer took hold, her health and even her spirits noticeably declined. Her family had no realistic path to specialized care, they didn't even know specifically what was wrong with her. Through program support funded by Bone Tactical, we were able to help with access to a specialist and cover medical bills. We could even help provide consistent nutrition. Today, her cancer is in remission, and she is now attending school. She had always been happy, but for the first time in her young life, she's now healthy and has access to the education that will be a key to her future.

Building in a Third-World Environment
The biggest challenge has been the reality of building and operating in a rural third-world setting: fragmented infrastructure, supply constraints, and the difficulty of finding skilled labor. In an environment where the education system is inconsistent, it can be difficult to find trained people for specialized tasks. We’ve worked through this by using local labor and focusing on a practical, step-by-step approach.
What’s Next
Future phases are aimed at expanding into vocational training, so the program can help create long-term skills and opportunity—reducing dependency and breaking cycles of poverty.
