Hello

In the heart of El Suyate, Guatemala, the Paiz Álvarez family is living out a powerful mission: to develop young leaders and restore dignity to children and youth through love, education and discipleship. Moved by the hardships faced by so many young people - poverty, neglect and violence - they have responded with a deep compassion rooted in Christ’s love and justice. What They Do With a heart for restoration and empowerment, the Paiz Álvarez family has built a vibrant, supportive community centered on holistic development. Their ministry includes:

​

 

• Scholarship Programs – Opening doors to education for children and youth who otherwise would have no access to school.                                      

• Educational Mentoring – Providing academic guidance and encouragement tailored to each student’s needs.                                                                   

• Christian Discipleship - Teaching God’s Word and walking alongside young people in their spiritual growth, helping them discover their identity and purpose in Christ.

How They Serve

This work is personal. The Paiz Álvarez family walks closely with every child and young adult they serve - listening to their stories, sharing in their struggles, and celebrating their milestones. Through consistent presence and Christ-centered love, they offer a safe space where young people feel seen, valued and supported. A beautiful fruit of their ministry is the rise of local leadership. Many who once received support through the program are now giving back as volunteers and leaders - young people and mothers who are passionate about serving their own community. This transformation is a testimony to the lasting impact of walking with others in love and faith.

​

They are committed to being instruments of hope and healing, especially in a place where opportunities are scarce and brokenness often goes unnoticed.
