Homes Built/Repaired
This beautiful lady is Isabel Lopez. The three children in the photos are children that she has taken care of since their own mother abandoned them. Isabel is in dire need of a bathroom. You can see the current toilet is an outhouse and the hole that the waste goes in is almost full. The shower is in a different part of the yard and is just a small shed with a pipe. Also, both are separate from the house that she and the children live in. So, can you imagine getting up in the night to use the restroom in such conditions?
Please help Isabel and her children by donating towards a new bathroom, which will have a real septic system and will also be connected to her current house. Approximate cost for this project will be $6,000 U.S.
Through the incredible support of our Foundation Campaign, we were able to raise $9,300—enough to lay several strong and lasting foundations for families in need. These foundations are more than just concrete and steel—they represent the first step toward safety, dignity, and stability for families who have been waiting for a place to truly call home.
But the work is far from over. Many more families are still in need of a safe and secure place to live, and every foundation we lay brings us one step closer to meeting that need. That’s why this campaign is ongoing—because the need is ongoing.
We invite you to continue being part of this mission. Let’s keep building strong foundations together—for homes, for families, and for futures filled with hope.
Maria was walking in the village of Las Flores on a very hot day. We gave her a ride to her home where she invited us in. We were invited into a two-room wooden structure. One small room had only a hammock strung from end to end. The second room separated only by a curtain contained a home-made bed made from tree branches that she and her grandson sleep in. Her kitchen is outside on a covered porch and her bathroom is a shared out-house that is behind another house on her property. The wood walls of her home have large gaps where the outside light shines in. She is requesting a small home.
We can provide a 14 x 18 home that is safe and has an indoor bathroom with a septic system for $12,500. Please consider helping us provide a safe home for Miss Maria and her grandson by donating below.
Jolee and her three children live on the top of a mountain in Armenia, Cayo District. One of her sons suffers from epilepsy. Jolee and her family do not have running water or electric. She collects water in blue barrels outside their one room house. The bathroom is some distance from the house and is constructed of blankets (for privacy), sticks and metal. Jolee cooks over an open fire, with food that is mostly donated to her. She is a hard worker and when she can she cleans homes to make enough money to buy food and medicine for her family. We are currently in the process of raising funds to build or purchase a home for Jolee and her family that will have running water and electricity and that is down in the village instead of being on top of the mountain, which is unattainable by car. You can help by donating to our construction/renovation fund.
A house is built from many parts, and each piece is crucial in creating something whole. By donating towards general construction, you can help a dream come true for a family in need. Every contribution plays a vital role in building a safe, comfortable home. See below for a breakdown of the cost to build a house as well as donation opportunities.
