Nueva Suyapa

---

Nueva Suyapa is part of a massive squatter’s ridge of 300,000 inhabitants on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa. Drawn by big-city allure, people find themselves packed together, disillusioned and scratching out an existence on desolate hills that have no water or electricity. Not surprisingly, hopelessness on this scale creates an environment that invites various forms of abuse and violence in and out of the home. Many young people and children face the difficult decision of joining a gang that offers a criminal surrogate family or risking the treacherous cross-country trip to attempt to enter the United States.
