Overcoming poverty and injustice in Guatemala through Christ's transforming love.
Our mission is overcoming poverty and injustice in Guatemala through Christ's transforming love. Our most significant activities are child sponsorship, establishing and supporting microbusinesses, teacher training, and developing partnerships with local authorities to end physical/sexual abuse/trafficking.
Tios for Hope supports education in Guatemala. Our Child Sponsorship program partners with Mana de Vida school in Escuintla. Sponsors become "aunts and uncles" to impoverished children there. The sponsor communicates with them and encourages them as they grow and change. Each child receives 17 meals per week, school uniforms, basic medical care, excellent education, spiritual direction, and additional physical, emotional, and family support. We also support students learning a microbusiness trade such as welding or baking as well as providing extra income and bonuses to teachers.
Tios for Hope supports health and nutrition in Guatemala. Guatemala has one of the highest rates of malnutrition for young children in the world. Tios for Hope started a nutrition project that specifically targets pregnant women and children 6 months to 3 years old. The product used is NutriListo (website listo.gt). NutriListo is made in Guatemala with nutrients specifically made to fill the gaps n the Guatemalan diet. The product is affordable and readily available. Our partner measures children monthly in order to evaluate he effectiveness of the project. Tios for Hope also supports a healthcare clinic that provides health and dental care in Escuintla. Finally, Tios for Hope gave grants to Mana de Vida for special COVID-19 related expenses such as food and PPE.
Tios for Hope supports justice in Guatemala. We partner with Lifting Her Up ministries which provides support to women in rural areas as well as policewomen in Guatemala City. In addition, we support Mana de Vida in developing partnerships with local authorities and other agencies to help end physical and sexual abuse/trafficking. Currently, 32 cases of abuse have been investigated by the child protection program at Mana de Vida. We also provided a grant for Mana de Vida to purchase a school bus in order to get children out of abusive homes during the day during COVID-19 and provide safer transport to school versus public transportation system and/or walking.
