| SewHope is a Christian, not-for-profit organization that promotes spiritual growth, health, opportunity and education in the communities of the Petén region of Guatemala. |
OUR PHILOSOPHY AND VISION
SewHope exists to follow the example of Jesus Christ to serve the poor. We are committed to serving an area of extreme poverty in the largely indigenous Petén region of northern Guatemala where there exists one of the highest levels of malnutrition, child and maternal mortality, and illiteracy in the world. We are working to empower these people with the tools they need to envision their own self-development as they break free of the dehumanizing cycle of extreme poverty while avoiding dependency and paternalism. All activities, planning, decision making and monitoring of projects are shaped by the local people and their culture. We acknowledge that by working together to reconcile a divided world, we are helping eradicate many types of human poverty, suffering, isolation, and oppression that are faced by rich and poor alike.

WHERE WE WORK
SewHope works in Pueblo Nuevo and surrounding villages. Pueblo Nuevo is a small community of about 60 families that is located in the Guatemalan Department known as the Petén and the municipality known as Santa Ana. Pueblo Nuevo is about 90 minutes by car (on a very bad road) east of Flores, the capital of the Petén, and south of the great Mayan archaeological site of Tikal.
