According to a report published in 2012, over half of the children under the age of 5 are chronically malnourished. This is in part due to the extremely unequal distribution of the nation’s wealth. A little bit over 20% of the population controls over 50% of the wealth. This makes the Per Capita GDP a mere half of that of Guatemala’s neighboring countries, while the actual GDP is the highest in Central America. It’s amazing that the highest gross GDP country in the region boasts 53% of the population living below the poverty line.

In recent years, volunteering has become more of a business than charity. Many organizations in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand run volunteering programs solely for profit. Please check Travellers Quest volunteer abroad in Guatemala page for different organizations and their fees and you'll know for sure. But this is not the case with New Hope Volunteers.

We hope to make the dreams of college students and budget travelers come true.

This ensures that 100% of your money goes to the project.
In addition to our registration fee of $259, here you find the world’s most affordable weekly program fee, which includes room, food (3 times a day), project details and field support.
