Today over 200 million people live in poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean. No proper home, no potable water, sewage, or electricity access.
TECHO’s mission is to change that reality, working to create system-changing solutions to end poverty and shape a future we all want to live in.
TECHO works across 18 countries in the region to improve housing, health, and community infrastructure development. TECHO also empowers volunteers to play a critical role by experiencing the opportunity to build emergency houses hand-in-hand with the families and engage in a life-transforming experience for both.
