Although she was a member of one of the most successful pop groups of all time, Lisa “Left Eye†Lopes spent a good portion of the last years of her life very far from the limelight. In the late 1990s she traveled to the impoverished Central American country of Honduras for the first time, and soon made a second home for herself there. She was drawn to the country’s natural beauty, holistic healing, and most of all to its people. When she passed away there in 2002, she was in the process of bringing to fruition her dream of establishing a non-profit educational and medical center on some property she owned near the coastal cities of La Ceiba and Jutiapa. Today, the Lisa Lopes Foundation is poised to make Lisa’s dream a reality.The Lisa Lopes Foundation, Inc. (LLF) is dedicated to providing neglected and abandoned youth with the resources necessary to increase their quality of life.In keeping with Lisa's vision to help those less fortunate, the Lisa Lopes Foundation built an orphanage in Honduras. The orphanage offers a loving, family environment for children who have fallen victim to abuse and abandonment. Our orphanage also provides educational support, health programs, and other events and activities that help move children from despair to self-suffiency.
