Pronino works with a phased programme. In the first phase, a relationship of trust is created with the children on the streets. Then, the children who have enough confidence in the Pronino people are placed in a temporary centre - Les Flores - for rehabilitation and detoxification. In the third phase, La Montana, the children are offered a permanent place to live with education and job training. La Montana is a complex of buildings that can house around 100 children and could be enlarged if there was enough money to care for that many children. 

At the moment, 30 children between 6 and 18 years old are living at La Montana and another 30 children are on their way from Les Flores. They are all cared for by the Pronino staff, that regularly gets support from Dutch volunteers of the Homeless Child Foundation. In addition to school education and job training, La Montana offers sport facilities, but there are no indoor activities yet. Honduras is a tropical country with long periods of rain and mud when it is impossible to play outside. Most children living at La Montana suffer from ADHD or other types of hyperactivity due to their difficult and often traumatised past. For their stability and well-being it is important that the children are continuously offered something to do, also outside their hours of formal education. For this reason, a space was cleared to serve as a playroom that the children can use when it rains. Sanding out and painting the floors and walls and furnishing the playroom with a football table, two small pool tables, a table-tennis table and some games will cost 1576 Euro.
