Central America is one of the poorest regions in the world with widespread unemployment and poverty. In Nicaragua, almost half of the total population attempts to live on less than one dollar a day. The daily struggle of many members of the church is where to find their next meal for themselves and their families. When poverty is so severe, it is almost impossible for people to break the poverty cycle by themselves. The need is evident. The vision for CFH is literally to eventually reach tens of thousands of latter-day saints, to give them hope, and enable them to overcome the poverty in which they find themselves.

Even though Cause For Hope is still young, it now has nine locations, two in Honduras, two in Guatemala, four in Nicaragua and one in El Salvador. The strategic plan outlines future goals for opening more offices and reaching more lives.
