Program areas at Common Hope

Education: Common Hope helped provide pre-primary, primary, secondary, and university education for 3,146 students in 2022, supporting tuition and fees, books and supplies, shoes, and uniforms. We celebrated 214 young men and women who earned their high school diploma, most of them first generation graduates. 3,000 young men and women have now graduated from high school through Common Hope! Students returned to school mid-year for 1-2 days/week, so distance learning continued to be supported for all students. Other support included connectivity or access to computer labs and library resources for all students, individual and group homework/tutoring support for 2,085 students, and diagnostic assessments for all 6-, 9-, 12, and 15-year-old students. Supplemental educational kits were provided mid-school year for 1,959 families.
Health care: Common Hope's medical staff conducted a total of 7,893 consultations with patients at our clinic and through tele-health services in 2022. Health care services included examinations, lab tests, x-rays, medications, surgeries, mental health services and dental care. Clinic staff provided regular treatment and education for 180 patients with chronic health issues, including diabetes and hypertension, ensuring ongoing lab monitoring. We partner with other organizations to provide health and dental care at our san rafael el arado, san miguel milpas altas, and new Hope sites. Common Hope also hosted the ministry of health for monthly vaccination clinics serving staff, affiliated families, and the broader community.
Family and community development: Common Hope partnered with 1,959 families to provide resources and tools to improve their lives in guatemala. Through a long-term relationship with a Common Hope social worker, families identified goals, obstacles and created their own family development plan. In person visits and tele-support services were available to all families. Food security, health & safety, and emotional support services were provided as a direct result of identified needs.
Housing: Common Hope partnered with families prior to the pandemic to build 25 houses that are clean, dry, and safe, 4 of which were block homes. Housing improvements were provided for 34 families. Common Hope also improved and operated the infrastructure for new Hope village including running water, electricity, and sewer, to serve families living there. Again in 2022, our housing team managed the procurement, packaging and delivery of our covid relief and educational kits for families.
