About Us
Steps of Hope is an Education Center for children ages 3-14 located in Santa María de Jesús, Guatemala. We believe that education is the way to change the course of a child’s life. Education is a process, and the results are not immediate. The more basic skills the child has to continue learning and growing, as well as knowledge about the world outside of their community and the Lord, the more opportunities they have to succeed and to have the life they dream of.
Our Mission
Steps of Hope – Guatemala is a Christian learning resource center that supports the children of Santa María de Jesús by empowering them and their families to live abundant lives filled with educational opportunity.
Programs
The Tutoring Progam
The tutoring program is for our students who have not been able to attend school due to lack of financial resources. The children attend classes a few times each week at the Steps of Hope Resource Center to learn basic math and reading skills. Students enjoy snack time and recess where they play and interact with their classmates.
The Meal Program
We provide a hearty meal to our students so that they do not need to study hungry.
Sponsorship Program
We get children started in school and keep them going by providing tuition, supplies, backpacks, uniforms and shoes.
Community Outreach
Making A Difference One Child and One Family at a Time
Home Repairs
Mission teams go to the homes of families who are the most in need and help projects like roof and floor repairs. The teams have also purchased household neceesseties like a sink, for example
Medical Outreach
We take children to the dental clinic every few months. It is a free clinic where the children have their teeth cleaned, pulled, fillings put in, ect. We organized a surgery for a student through another organization who sends teams
