Belize is a vibrant country filled with a colorful array of different cultures and traditions. The need for missions, however, is great. With a total of 320,000 people living in Belize, over 33.5% of the population falls below the poverty line. In addition, 17% of the population lives without any source of clean drinking water. La Estima is dedicated towards helping those in need by providing opportunities for groups to serve the surrounding communities.
Belize is an excellent choice for mission-minded individuals. As a primarily English speaking country, there is no language barrier and a stable US-friendly government insures safe traveling. Belize is also extremely accessible by air. With a two-hour direct flight from Houston or Dallas, Belize is not far from home.
La Estima is owned by an American who holds dual citizenship and has been a rancher in Belize since the late 80's. The center is located on 27 acres along the New River with over 20 buildings, a 10 horse stable, walking paths and several fitness areas. Housing for up to 100 people is available.
