About us

Comunidad de la Esperanza

Nosotros

We are a non-profit association committed to the welfare of children in vulnerable situations in the peri-urban areas of the city of Cobán, Guatemala, specifically in the neighborhoods Esfuerzo 1, Esfuerzo 2, Nueva Esperanza and Sachamach.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive support to children and young people who face significant risks due to precarious working conditions, such as child exploitation in the municipal dump, as well as extreme poverty and family disintegration.

We work hard to provide them with a safe environment conducive to their physical, emotional and educational development. Through programs and activities designed especially for their needs, we seek to provide them with the tools to build a more hopeful and promising future. Our work focuses on empowering these children and young people, providing them with the skills and resources that will enable them to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential.

Our reason for being

Our primary objective as an association is to provide a comprehensive education that encompasses various dimensions of life for each of our beneficiaries. We strive to ensure that they have a solid human, cultural and spiritual foundation through enriching experiences that foster meaningful learning. We seek not only to nurture their minds with academic knowledge, but also to cultivate their values, social skills and spiritual connections, thus creating an educational environment that contributes to the integral development of each individual.

Comunidad Esperanza with everyone who dares to walk through its doors: it immerses you, absorbs you, introduces you to a reality that photographs cannot capture nor words can describe. And then it steals a piece of your heart. And it never gives it back.

All the experiences, situations, or simple details that I was lucky enough to live at Comunidad Esperanza are small gifts that life gives me, and that it will be difficult to erase from my memory.

There is a place in the world where tomorrow is always better. Where tomorrow has meaning. Because today, because every day, the seeds of God that sprout in every child, in every young person, in every glance, renew their reason for being. Community of Hope.
