It’s no secret that having access to clean water, proper sanitation, and ventilation all greatly decrease the risk of disease and sickness among children and adults. But what’s less obvious is the impact of living in shelters without a proper foundation. It leads to runoff water flowing through the floors and often leads to the spread of dangerous illnesses to infants and others. When we build, each home and community is designed to provide these basic needs which means parents no longer have to worry about even simple things, like their children playing on the floors of their home.

Having a door and windows with locks means that children and parents can sleep at night knowing they’re safe from what’s outside. In the communities we build, the new homes typically replace houses made from scrap metals or found resources that create unstable, temporary dwellings. Homes built by your donations provide personal security to safeguard belongings and valuables and prevent external violence. Read more

The families we serve build their homes using available resources, allowing wind and rain to enter the home freely in most cases. For children growing up in poverty, these home conditions make it very difficult to study and get proper sleep to focus in school. Every donation to homebuilding helps provide children with a proper place to focus and learn, as well as a cozy space to recharge at night. This means a brighter future for children and all youth in the communities we build. Read more

Donating the gift of a reliable home enables parents more time to pursue opportunities to earn more money and start businesses. Time that may have once been spent cleaning the dirt floors, or walking miles for water, bathing, or using the bathroom are given back, and with it comes the chance to pursue opportunities that break free from the cycle of survival mode living. We have seen many families begin businesses from their homes which provide not only more income for their family to meet everyday needs, but also inspires children to learn how to run successful businesses by example.

This bond provides benefits to mental health and overall well being. This is why our community home layouts are designed with the input of the families who reside there. This way we know that each family receives the gift of a home, while the community as a whole also has the foundation to grow stronger and thrive. Read more
