Common Hope Inc

Family and community development: in 2024, common hope partnered with 2,021 families to provide resources and tools to improve their lives in guatemala. Through a long-term relationship with a common hope social worker, families identified goals, obstacles and created their own family development plan.

Health care services included examinations, lab tests, x-rays, medications, surgeries, mental health services and dental care. Clinic staff provided regular treatment and education for patients with chronic health issues, including diabetes and hypertension, ensuring ongoing lab monitoring. We partner with other organizations to provide health and dental care at our san rafael el arado, san miguel milpas altas, and new hope sites.

Housing: in 2024 common hope provided 25 houses that are clean, dry, and safe to families in our programs, 5 of which were block homes built in partnership with a local guatemalan non-profit. 71 housing improvements were provided for our families ranging from proper ventilation for improved air quality to plumbing for sanitary bathrooms. These housing initiatives not only provide families with a safe and secure environment but also empower them to focus on their children's education.
