Homes Built/Repaired
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.
We met Manuel and his mother Maria on our very first trip to the Village of Las Flores. Manuel was so happy to meet us and took us into his home. The home which was metal and wood was in such bad shape. Soon after we went back to the U.S., we were able to raise enough funds to finish building he and his family a small block home with room for expansion. There are many more homes and families in the village who need help. Please consider donating for future house construction like this one, to provide safe homes for our brothers and sisters in Las Flores and the surrounding area.
