In 2000, we built a 2,400 sf medical clinic in the rural village we serve, near Sumpango/Chimaltanango, Guatemala. There are so many needs among the very poor people that many times our clinic is barely large enough to accommodate the crowds of sick people.
We are a Christian, faith-based mission and we rely on donations from others to fund the needs of the clinic. However, we serve everyone equally without regards to their particular religious beliefs or, non-belief.
Hands of Hope is a registered USA 501(c)3 non-profit and all donations in the USA and Canada are tax-deductible.
What We DoOur mission and goal is to serve the very poor rural indigenous people while demonstrating the love of Jesus. Our 2,400 square foot permanent medical clinic is located in the mountains about 45 minutes from the town of Antigua, south of Chimaltenango. The nearest town is Sumpango.
Villages We ServeOur clinic is in the village of San Rafael El Arado, which is the center village of three villages: Santa Marta, San Rafael and San Jose Yalu which is the village farthermost from the main highway.
