Cooperativa Escolar Lempira Limitada

Cooperativa Escolar Lempira Limitada is a school cooperative operating in Honduras. Named after Lempira, a legendary Indigenous leader who fought against Spanish conquest in the 16th century and a symbol of Honduran national identity and currency, this cooperative embodies values of strength, independence, and community empowerment. It is a student-centered financial institution designed to teach young people about savings, financial literacy, and cooperative principles through hands-on banking experience. As a cooperativa escolar (school cooperative), it operates within an educational setting and is supervised by CONSUCOOP (Consejo Nacional Supervisor de Cooperativas), Honduras's national cooperative supervisory council.

School cooperatives in Honduras serve as practical learning tools where students can open savings accounts, make deposits, and participate in democratic governance structures while receiving financial education.
