Our Mission

Project For Hope exists to share the life-changing love of Christ with fatherless families through vocational training for mothers, educational assistance for their children and basic healthcare for the family.

Our Vision

We envision our ministry operations center as an oasis where children receive education and care while the mothers earn a living wage. At the end of a regular workday, these families can return home together to enjoy family time. For each of our candidate families, this is currently impossible. These families are embroiled in a struggle to literally survive. Project for Hope ministers to the entire family holistically.

The Project for Hope Story

Lack of primary education, lack of access to employment, lack of access to primary healthcare. This is the plight of so many widows and single mothers throughout Magdalena Milpas Altas and the surrounding rural farming communities. They are the key themes that keep these families in a generational cycle of poverty.

These widows and single mothers needed work to become self­-sufficient. As we looked more in-depth at issue, we found that the lack of primary education was only part of the problem. The little work available in the area requires long hours and does not pay a livable wage. It keeps children out of school. It forces moms to look for small jobs such as laundry or sweeping the street to buy only beans, rice, and corn to survive. 

At this point, God put an exciting vision in our hearts: A ministry for fatherless families that could assist with employment, healthcare, and education while investing in the lives of children. These boys need Godly examples of men. These girls need to know the love of a father. So we began investigating how to employ widows and single mothers to help them break the cycle of poverty.
