The AFE Project was founded in 2004 by Jeony Ordoñez who had been working with street children in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa.

Jeony visited the city rubbish dump one day with his five-year-old daughter, Chris, to drop of some rubbish and saw the hundreds of children living and working in and around the dump.  His daughter suggested to him that God was calling him to help the children, but Jeony gave it no further thought until his daughter continued to challenge him about the plight of the children on the dump.

One day, Jeony felt a personal challenge to help the children after realising that God had been speaking to him through his young daughter.  He began to visit the dump and make friendships with the children and their families.

Shortly after his initial visits Jeony and his wife, Nimia Jesabel, invited the children to meet with them in a field opposite the dump and began to teach them, since most of them had no opportunity of going to school.  

From those early beginnings AFE now has grown into an amazingly effective project, helping nearly 200 children every week through its school, which is still in the process of construction, and its outreach to the children and their families on the dump.
