Honduran Red Cross proudly celebrated its HQAI CHS certification alongside its teams
The Honduran Red Cross (HRC) has recently achieved HQAI CHS certification, a major recognition of its commitment to transparency, quality, and continuous improvement. To mark this significant milestone, the HRC organised an event bringing together its employees, highlighting their essential role in this success. This moment of sharing served as a reminder of the importance of continuous improvement and adherence to quality standards in humanitarian work.
A Moment of Pride and Unity
The celebration was also an opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to this progress, reinforcing team spirit and motivation among staff members. HRC is the first Latin American aid actor to achieve CHS certification.
For us, it is a joy to receive this certification because it represents a true examination of everything we do: from financial aspects, to our action protocols, to established policies, to the actions we take in the communities. This represents that CRH, in all its actions, places communities at the center.
José Juan Castro, President of Honduran Red Cross
Media Recognition
The certification did not go unnoticed. Several local media outlets covered the event, highlighting the commitment of the Honduran Red Cross and the positive impact of this recognition on its work. Television reports and press articles underscored the importance of this CHS certification for the humanitarian sector in Honduras, further strengthening the National Society's credibility with its partners and beneficiaries.
A Certification in Service of Quality Locally-Led Action.
Through HQAI CHS audits, local and national actors are readily able to provide necessary evidence to demonstrate capacity, mitigate risks and therefore justify investment and trust by stakeholders and partners. The audit ensures that an agency upholds strict standards in management and humanitarian intervention, thereby providing a more effective and transparent response to crises and the needs of vulnerable populations.
With this certification, the HRC reaffirms its commitment to responsible and transparent humanitarian work. Its exemplary journey can inspire other aid actors to follow this approach and strengthen their own practices in quality and accountability.
Congratulations to the Honduran Red Cross and its team members for this achievement!
