About Us

OUR STORY

In 1963, Father Antonio Quetglas, a Spanish priest with an unwavering commitment to social justice, arrived in Honduras. Witnessing the poverty and hardship faced by many in the country, he dedicated his life to improving the lives of those most in need. His mission was to bring hope and opportunity to the underserved, guided by the principles of love, compassion, and solidarity.

In 1995, his dream materialized with the founding of Fundación Obras Sociales Vicentinas (OSOVI). Inspired by the values of Saint Vincent de Paul, the foundation became a beacon of hope for vulnerable communities, channeling resources and initiatives to empower individuals and families.
