In one of the most vulnerable communities in Guatemala—where many families survive by collecting recyclables from the local dumpsite—Prints of Hope International has planted a center of restoration, dignity, and opportunity. What began as a safe space for children has grown into a full-circle resource hub that is transforming lives and lifting an entire community.
Every day, our team serves hot, nutritious meals to children who spend their mornings working in the dumpster—many of them going without food, shoes, or safety. These meals are often the only nourishment they receive all day. But we don’t stop at feeding their bodies—we also pour into their hearts and minds. Through tutoring, mentoring, and the teaching of God’s Word, children are given the chance to learn, grow, and dream beyond the limits of poverty.
For mothers in the community, our center offers sewing classes that do more than teach a skill—they open doors to sustainable income. What once felt like an impossible dream is now within reach: women are starting small businesses, supporting their families, and walking in the confidence that comes from being seen, valued, and equipped.
On Sabbaths, our center becomes a place of worship—a church home where families gather to find spiritual nourishment, community, and the unshakable hope of the Gospel. For many, it’s their first time experiencing church as a place of welcome and joy.
Today, this center is more than a building—it is the heartbeat of the community. A place where physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met with compassion and purpose. A place where lives are being changed through education, empowerment, and the love of Christ.
Because of faithful partners like you, this center stands as a living testimony of what God can do when His people show up with open hands and willing hearts. Together, we are not just meeting needs—we are planting seeds of lasting hope.
