When Zeidy Funes returned to her home country of Honduras after trying to migrate to the United States, she was looking for a new start. Fortunately, after her arrival, Zeidy was connected with an organization that is part of the AMMPARO (Accompanying Migrants with Protection, Advocacy, Representation and Opportunities) network. The organization “provided me with the psychological support I needed,” Zeidy said. By meeting others in her same situation, she was able to rebuild her life in Honduras.

Zeidy is just one of many people who are part of a network for returned migrants in Honduras. Read more of their stories in the 2025 issue of “Thrive.”
