Opportunity brings HOPE!
Hope Renewed International (HRI) serves, equips and empowers Guatemalans living in poverty with practical tools to discover their God-given abilities and change their circumstances, becoming all that God intended them to be.
Our Mission
Our mission is to share the love of Christ by transforming lives in at-risk communities through care, education, opportunity, and formation.
Our goal is to serve, equip, and empower the people in the communities where we work so they can ultimately help themselves, thereby creating dependability instead of dependency.
OUR PROGRAMS
Our programs are focused on the individual as a whole, considering their immediate needs, their environment for learning, strengths they offer as well as areas of potential development. Our programs are centered around four areas: Education, Vocational Opportunities, Spiritual Formation and Holistic Care.
Education
Whether it’s a preschool kid at the starting line of their educational journey, adults looking to continue their education at any level or any situation in between, we stand firm in our commitment to instill hope through education.
Spiritual formation
We mentor staff members and participants in our programs with the goal to help develop people personally and spiritually, so they will be productive members of society, responsible employees and people with faith-based integrity.
Vocational Opportunities
Hope Renewed works with Guatemalans to establish self-sustaining businesses in areas where opportunities for work are rare. We provide skills training through our scholarship and vocational certification programs.
holistic care
Caring for others is at the core of what Hope Renewed does. To live out our mission, our staff is committed to providing the best care possible wherever we are serving.
OUR IMPACT
Guatemala is one of the poorest nations in the world. It is estimated that nearly half of the population lives on less than $2 per day and 15% on less than $1 per day. Guatemala’s social development indicators, such as infant mortality, chronic child malnutrition, and illiteracy are among the worst in the hemisphere. Hope Renewed began in 2010 with the determination to make a sustainable difference in the lives of the people of Guatemala.

From a mission team participant:
“I am so impressed with Hope Renewed's focus on the whole person. I appreciate that they are individualistic in their approach but are concerned with how those individuals will be contributing to the community as a whole. It's a great way to bring healing to a community - one person at a time.”
Valerie Brown, July 2022
