Emigration rates from Guatemala and the Northern Triangle continue to increase as families search for safety, security, and opportunity. Less than 10% of all Guatemalan youth enter university levels of education in a country where half the population currently is making less than $2- dollars a day. Having its greatest effects on the Mayan poor, the Western Highlands is home to 62% of their youth not in the education system at all. This is why UMH is providing our educational scholarship opportunity here.
Educating through scholarship
The United Missions of Hope Memorial Scholarship and it's higher educational opportunity is strategically developed and placed to assist the impoverished communities of the Western Highlands and the Lake Atitlan regions of Guatemala. Many students here only dream about an education due to the economic struggles of their families. Join us in lifting up these brilliant leaders of tomorrow who have the desire to learn and be part of this global movement change to reduce the hardships of poverty through a good education.
Psalm 133:1
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.
