How we began. . .

In June, 2010, Pat Duff move to Guatemala with a passion to serve the poor and disabled in this Central American country under the Josiah Foundation. Since that time, she has founded Reason to Hope, Inc. and now employs eleven full-time and four part-time Guatemalan staff members. Under her direction, Reasont to Hope operates two assisted living homes, a therapy center, and an education program for children with disabilities. In addition we provide discipleship and educational opportunities for those in the Antigua Guatemala area.

In June, 2017, Reason to Hope, Inc. was formed and approved 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. Pat, with the help of two Guatemalan Directors, oversees the daily operation of the ministry in Guatemala and teaches in the education program.

As a non-profit, Reason to Hope is under the oversight of a Board of Directors who are committed to the vision of improving the lives of those with disabilities, now and for eternity.
