About

​

Welcome to the John 13:34 Foundation. Inspired by the New Commandment given by Jesus in John 13:34: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" – our foundation is dedicated to embodying this profound message through tangible acts of service and compassion.

​

For years, we have been privileged to work alongside the resilient and vibrant people of San Lucas Tolimán, a beautiful community nestled on the shores of Lake Atitlán in the highlands of Guatemala. Our commitment to this region stems from a deep respect for its culture, its history, and its people, coupled with a keen awareness of the systemic challenges many of its residents face.

The John 13:34 Foundation is a humanitarian organization driven by the belief that love, expressed through action, has the power to transform lives and uplift communities. We partner directly with local leaders, organizations, and families in San Lucas Tolimán to identify and address critical needs in areas such as:​

• Education: Investing in the future through scholarships, school improvements, and educational programs that empower children and adults.

• Health & Wellness: Supporting access to essential healthcare, nutrition initiatives, and health education to improve overall well-being.

• Economic Development: Fostering sustainable livelihoods through vocational training, small business support, and agricultural initiatives.

• Community Infrastructure: Assisting with projects that improve living conditions, such as access to clean water, safe housing, and sanitation.

We believe in a holistic approach to development, recognizing that sustainable change comes from empowering individuals and strengthening the fabric of the community itself. Our work is built on principles of transparency, accountability, and genuine partnership. We strive to be a bridge, connecting the generosity of our supporters with the needs and aspirations of the people of San Lucas Tolimán.
