Common Hope welcomes anyone willing to serve Guatemalan communities, and we serve those affected by poverty without regard to religion. We honor all beliefs that lead people to health. We embrace spiritual values such as hope, forgiveness, compassion, respect, love, service and the pursuit of peace. Common Hope recognizes that people, whatever their beliefs, are equal and deserve respect. We value the strength that diversity offers, and acknowledge that we are all connected.

Spirituality Statement

Nuestro punto de vista

To ensure the safety of staff, volunteers, and the families Common Hope serves, we are not politically active in the United States or in Guatemala. Our primary work is to confront poverty in Guatemala at its roots, by partnering with families to improve their lives through education and overcome obstacles in the way of an education.
