Bayan Indigenous Social and Economic Development Association is a non-profit, Honduran development organization founded in July of 1985. Bayan's purpose is to select the indigenous communities who demonstrate interest and desire to work on their own developments and promote in them the principles of unity, coordination and consultation. Currently Bayan operates a small hospital and primary health care centre, and a secondary educational program known as Tutorial Learning System (SAT), which allows secondary education without the need to migrate to the city. There is always an urgent need for volunteers both short and long term.
