A Roof for Everyone - Building a home for Guatemalan People


LOCATION: Antigua and surroundings

The main goal of this project is to offer simple houses to impoverished families, so that their health and living conditions will be improved. The project offers the families a possibility to obtain a newly constructed house for a small amount of money. The house is constructed of concrete blocks, with a corrugated iron roof and a concrete floor. Families can choose between different types of houses and the construction of each house takes about two to three weeks. Depending on which type of house the families choose, they pay a contribution. Volunteers will help the construction workers and the families during the whole process; from bying the land and building the walls, till actually opening the door of their new home.
