ABOUT US

Who We Are

The Loving Arms Charitable Organisation was born from the dream of our founder, Linda Coghlin, the hard work of our volunteers, and the generous contributions made for the purchase of property, development and construction of the School of Hope in San Andrés Itzapa in 2013, a town in Chimaltenango, Guatemala with a population of 24,992 (2018 census).
Loving Arms School of Hope was approved in 2022 by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education (Spanish: Ministerio de Educación or MINEDUC) to offer high-quality education to middle-school classes for our 6th-grade graduates of the School of Hope. We aim to provide long-term, high-quality education in the host country and meet the short-term needs of more than 200 children. Kindergarten through Grade 6 is presently offered as of 2022.  We aim to build another classroom at Loving Arms School of Hope by the end of next semester.
