Vulnerable Children

Children are exposed daily to life-threatening environments. Poorly constructed houses are a huge security and health risk to children, leaving them defenceless against any damp conditions, insects or other intruders.

Decent housing in urban areas remains unattainable and unaffordable for most people. Most struggle to afford the frequent necessary repairs to their mud and grass thatched roof homes.

Through the construction of safe, secure homes this project strives to improve the living conditions for vulnerable children and their families.

Women Build

A team of women will build in Honduras for our annual Women Build. This will be an incredible opportunity to join women from all walks of life, to build a world where everyone has a safe place to call home.

Women Build engages volunteers abroad and future community leaders to address economic challenges that women face because they lack opportunity, training or education.

Women from all walks of life advocate for affordable housing and safer, stronger communities, particularly in areas where women are at risk for physical harm while performing daily chores.

Vulnerable Populations

We help families in break the cycle of poverty in Ethiopia by constructing decent and affordable homes through the “Vulnerable Groups Housing Program”. The maximum monthly household income of the target beneficiaries is $50 or less.

Through the construction of safe, secure homes this project strives to improve the living conditions for vulnerable families.

Help build new homes with the support of local community leaders and the families who need them.

Typical activities include:

• Mixing sand and cement
• Moving materials
• Building concrete slabs
• Building walls of toilets and homes

Both households and schools in slum areas suffer from lack of adequate sanitation facilities. There are no water points within acceptable distances for families who live in poverty. When water is obtained from individual sellers, the costs are very often 10-20 times higher than water bills paid for directly metered by municipal water supply sources.
