Sponsor a Child at El Reparo
Empowering a child is one of the most personal ways that you can make an impact on global poverty. It is more than providing for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. When you sponsor a child, you build a relationship that shows that child they are valuable, worth loving, and worth investing in.
For many orphaned or impoverished children, decisions are made for them. The Friendship Model empowers children to make an individual choice about their future and removes the stigma of the child as a victim in need of help. Learn more about the Friendship Model.
Your sponsorship is the starting point of a journey that equips vulnerable children, their families, and their communities to create sustainable transformation. When you sponsor a child with HopeChest, you are not just supporting one child — you are helping transform entire communities.
El Reparo CarePoint is located in the town of La Nueva Concepción in southwestern Guatemala, approximately 70 km south of Guatemala City. The community sits in the coastal lowlands near the Pacific Ocean. Families here are hardworking and resourceful, yet many face challenges like limited job opportunities, restricted access to education, and illnesses from mosquitoes and unsafe water.
In partnership with Journey Church, El Reparo CarePoint provides a safe and welcoming space where children and families can access programs that support education, nutrition, health, and spiritual growth. Through these programs, children build on their strengths, families gain practical tools to thrive, and the community grows stronger.
By connecting communities, this partnership transforms lives, builds lasting relationships, and empowers local leaders to sustain the CarePoint’s mission for generations.

HopeChest’s approach to alleviating poverty is asset-based, because we believe that in every place on earth there are resources, not only for surviving, but for thriving and succeeding. Local leaders tell us what they do have instead of what they don’t have, and we walk with them to see their vision for their community come to fruition through development projects.
A fundraiser for El Reparo CarePoint is transformational rather than transactional. It promotes empowerment rather than dependence. >Your support for these projects will go a long way as, together, we invest in holistic and sustainable solutions that address the root issues of poverty.
