The Wood Family in Guatemala

The Woods are BuildinGuate Missionaries serving the families at The Land of Hope in Escuintla, Guatemala.

About Us

What is the Land of Hope?

The idea for the Land of Hope emerged after its founders met and befriended the community that was living atop the municipal landfill in Escuintla, Guatemala. In 2015, through generous donations, they purchased the land bordering the the landfill and broke ground straight away.

Today, The Land of Hope is a beacon of light in an extremely impoverished and desperate community. It includes a community kitchen, a medical clinic called "Casa Alicia," and a church building that also functions as a community center.
