Our Founders

David & Brenda Dachner

In 2007, philanthropic visionaries David and Brenda Dachner co-founded the Abundant Life Foundation with a passion to “help people help themselves”.   As their love and commitment to Roatán grew, the Dachners invested more into the island with a focus on education and community building. Today, David and Brenda sit on the Board of Directors and work alongside staff in the USA and Honduras to promote self-empowerment and growth among the people of Honduras.
