I am raising funds to support
All Five Families
Win or lose everyone wins – what!?!?! Yup. The person who raises the most funds for TECHO will go to Colombia and help a family build a safe place to live. All the money raised will go to funding the builds for families in need. So, it doesn’t matter who wins and gets to go to Colombia to do the build, because, in the end, we all played a part in making the dreams of these families come true. That's a win in my book. Hurry and make sure you’re a part of this great labor of love. Donate here and/or create your own page to fundraise with your friends – consider yourself challenged!
Where does your donation go?
The Project
With your contribution, TECHO will be able to give all these five families a new home. It takes two full days to build one house. The home stands on 12 piles and is raised from the ground to protect from moisture, floods, and pests. The home is made out of prefabricated wood panels, which allows beneficiary families and volunteers to participate in the construction without considerable technical training.
The Impact
TECHO will use all donations raised by the participants in this competition to build these five families a new home. If this campaign exceeds the fundraising target needed to build houses for the five families listed as beneficiaries, TECHO will use the surplus to support the construction of new homes for other needy families.
