Education Program
Education is at the heart of what we do at Manos de Jesús. Through our after-school education program, we walk alongside children in our communities, creating a safe and loving environment where they can learn, grow, and discover their God-given potential.
Students receive support in reading, math, Spanish, English, Bible, creativity, and life skills. Our goal is to help each child grow academically, spiritually, physically, and emotionally while building relationships that extend beyond the classroom.
Through counseling, we provide emotional support to students and their families as they navigate through life. With individual counseling sessions, our families learn healthy ways to navigate relationships and difficult situations. By creating a safe space to be heard, we help them grow in resilience and hope.
Counseling
Our students learn teamwork, discipline, respect, and perseverance. Practices and games give children a healthy space to grow in confidence, build friendships, and experience the love of Jesus through mentorship and community.
Sports Program
We welcome impact teams and partners to come alongside the ongoing work God is doing in Guatemala. Through service, relationship, and mutual learning, teams become part of a larger story of hope, growth, and transformation.
Spiritual Formation
We believe caring for children also means caring for their families. Through home visits, food support, counseling, parent workshops, and practical care, we walk alongside families in real and relational ways.
Family Support
Our team works alongside local leaders, families, churches, and communities to create long-term, sustainable change. We believe in empowering Guatemalan leaders and building programs that serve the needs of each community with dignity and care.
Community Development
Everything we do is rooted in the love of Jesus. Through Bible stories, prayer, worship, discipleship, and everyday conversations, we create spaces where children and families can know God’s love and grow in faith.
Impact Teams
Our dental program provides children and families with access to dental care that may otherwise be difficult to access. Through visiting dental teams, we offer exams, cleanings, treatments, and education while building relationships with the communities we serve.
