Join us for our Aspen Inspire Luncheon 2025!
We are thrilled to invite you to a special luncheon dedicated to empowering women and inspiring hope in communities across Latin America. At International Esperanza Project, we believe in the power of action—by strengthening communities from the inside out, we help create lasting change in homes, healthcare, and education.
Join us on this event that will take place on June 25, 2025, at the Aspen Mountain Club Aspen, CO. This event will showcase the incredible impact of our work, as we highlight our mission to create lasting impact through our three pillars of transformation:
Impacting Homes: Ensuring families have healthier living environments as the foundation for a better quality of life.
Impacting Health: Providing vital healthcare services and supporting healthy living practices.
Impacting Education: Building quality learning environments and engaging individuals in lifelong learning.
Come hear powerful stories of transformation, connect with other change-makers, and learn how you can help create a world where hope is not just a dream—but a reality.
OUR VISION
International Esperanza Project strengthens communities in Latin America from the inside, out, partnering to create impact through lasting improvements to homes, healthcare, and education -- so everyone can realize the future they hope for.
IMPACTING HEALTH
We provide high-quality medical care to those who otherwise would have no access. Teams of passionate medical volunteers worldwide travel to Chimaltenango throughout the year to set up one-week clinics and surgical centers. Each clinic team attends to hundreds of patients, and surgical teams perform life-changing surgeries.
IMPACTING HOMES
Our volunteer teams install smoke-free stoves and water filters in the homes of families who cook on open fires. The stoves eliminate smoke in the home, use 60% less wood, and reduce the risk of burns in children. Women regain a full day of time each week since they need to gather less wood. The water filters provide clean and safe drinking water and prevent waterborne illnesses.
IMPACTING EDUCATION
Our school program educates over 350 students annually, starting with Montessori education through High School. The education program provides each student with school supplies, textbooks, extracurricular activities, and technology. Last year, IEP celebrated its first graduating class from High School. The BookTuk® Mobile Education program, which includes books and teachers, addresses learning deficiencies by offering tutoring classes. Additionally, IEP offers vocational training for men and women through an Adult Trade Training Program, which aims to promote financial independence and empower individuals to build a brighter future.
