To UMH, education is more just learning facts; it is the doorway to dignity, opportunity, and lasting change. In places where poverty and migration narrow the horizons of young people, supporting education becomes an act of hope — choosing to invest in human potential, community resilience, and a future where families can thrive.

The Impact of Education

  • Why Education In This Region Matters

    Make A Difference

    The Western Highlands and Lake Atitlán regions face stark educational and economic challenges: less than 10% of Guatemalan youth enter university, many families live on under $2 a day, and large percentages of Mayan youth are excluded from the education system. When a child gains access to schooling and higher education, that one opportunity interrupts cycles of poverty, reduces pressure to migrate, and plants the seeds for community leadership and local development.

  • The Dedication Of UMH

    Support A Cause You Love

    United Missions of Hope answers this reality with purpose and strategy. UMH builds scholarship pathways and support for Tecnoógico Bethel, focused specifically on the Western Highlands and Lake Atitlán to lift brilliant young leaders who otherwise could only dream of education. Together, our work is a practical commitment to long‑term transformation — not charity that eases a moment, but investment that multiplies across families and generations.

  • The Ripple Effect Of Supporting UMH

    Be Part of A Solution

    A scholarship changes more than a transcript; it changes expectations, family stability, and community norms. Students who gain an education are more likely to contribute economically, mentor others, and create local solutions to hunger, health, and access. Supporting UMH is a way to turn compassion into measurable outcomes that honor cultural identity and strengthen local institutions.
