STAND with Students in Guatemala
Scholars Taking Action for New Dreams
Estudiantes que Sueñan y Toman Acción por Nuevos Destinos
Every day, students in Guatemala are standing up—for their education, for their families, and for their future. Now, we’re asking you to stand with them.
This campaign is about more than numbers. It’s about opening doors to opportunity and unlocking potential—one student, one dream, one future at a time.
🎯 Our STAND Goals:
- Raise $50,000 to provide academic scholarships and holistic support
- Gain 50 new Student Sponsors to walk alongside youth on their journey
- Welcome 50 new Pathway Members who make monthly giving part of their impact
💡 Why It Matters
In Guatemala, only 1 in 10 youth graduate from high school. For families living in under-resourced communities, education often ends early due to economic hardship, lack of access, or the need to work.
But through Common Hope’s integrated programs—including education support, health care, housing, and family development—students are not only staying in school, but thriving. Last year, over 95% of students passed their academic year, and nearly 200 graduated from high school—an enormous milestone in Guatemala.

When Students Stand, Futures Transform
This year’s theme across Common Hope is "Celebrating Brilliant Minds"—and there’s no better time to invest in students who are dreaming boldly and rising with resilience.
Your support is more than a donation. It’s a declaration: that you believe in them. That you STAND with them.
