Who We Are
An Angel of Hope is a non-profit organization formed in 2013, to help provide educational resources to children and teachers. Each student in our program receives his or her set of school supplies at the start of each year.
Since we have started providing the supplies, the area school has seen an increase of 25% more students finishing 6th grade and an overall increase of 20% in enrollment.
Not only has God given us the opportunity to help children with school supplies but also to provide them with shoes and winter clothes. Most children that live in the rural areas wear clothes and shoes that are either torn or too small for them, making it difficult for them to even get to school. Since our founding, we have blessed more than 1000 children with new winter clothes and shoes!
What We Do
01.
— We Donate Supplies
We collect and donate school supplies for students in Guatemala. We also donate shoes and coats to help them keep warm during winter.
02.
— We Travel & Deliver
Every year we go on a mission to Guatemala. We personally deliver donations and supplies in order to ensure everything goes to those most in need.
03.
— We Sponsor Children
In order for children to get an education they must be able to afford it. Sponsorship makes an education affordable and attainable. This minimizes the need for the child to work at an early age.
04.
— We Support Teachers
In rural schools, classrooms are not adequately equipped. Therefore, we donate supplies to teachers in order to help keep enough supplies in the classrooms.
05.
— We Build Community
We strive to create resources in the community of the children we serve that facilitate children going to school and getting educated. For example, we created 3 computer labs so far.
06.
— We Promote Wellness
We observed the need for children to have better nutrition and for adults to be better aware of the nutritional and physical health of young children. And we are developing a program to meet these needs.
By the Numbers
Impact Stories
Keeping Children Warm - It Started By "Accident"
When the word got out that we were helping children, people started randomly donating children clothes. We accepted them! We knew these could be put to good use. As a result, we have been collecting winter clothes and shoes since 2014.
Generosity Changed a Child's Life - Gabriela's Story
We met Gabriela on July 2014 during a visit to Pica Piedra – literally translated to mean Flintstone. There we observed that children work hard to help make ends meet. But this should not be a child’s preoccupation.
