Building Dignity, One School at a Time
Our Infrastructure project welcomes mission teams from the US to improve public schools and multipurpose buildings in rural Guatemala — completing and expanding basic infrastructure where it's needed most.
The goal is to create an environment where students can fully develop their potential in a dignified setting. Rural public schools often lack sufficient resources, and their facilities are precarious — sometimes even dangerous. Mission teams provide the labor, funding, and heart to transform these spaces.

The Need for Safe Schools
There are critical cases where school buildings represent a danger to those who use them. In distant communities, students sometimes cannot count on any type of infrastructure — making the shadow of a tree and some rocks their place of study.
"We don't build schools for communities. We build them with communities. The participation of local actors — from prioritization to execution and maintenance — is crucial for lasting impact."
Local leaders, US mission teams, and LHF staff work hand in hand to transform these spaces into safe, inspiring environments for learning and community life.
