How much do the homes cost?
The cost of construction of the homes we typically fund are $3,300. The home is simple, yet solid. They include a water filter system, high efficient wood burning stove, a bunk bed and, additionally, a bag of groceries as a housewarming gift.

Who pays the cost of the homes?
When someone aligns with the organization, they commit to sponsoring homes and raising funds for the construction of each through their dedicated campaigns. Once a campaign reaches its target goal, a home is funded and the campaign starts over.

Who builds the homes?
We are partnering with organizations that are registered non-profits in Guatemala and have 501(c)(3) status in the United States to manage all of the construction. We do this to help provide jobs to local Guatemalans instead of relying on volunteers from abroad.
