Meet The Ramirez Family
Marcela Ramirez is 38 years old. She has made a living from selling things on the streets since she was 15.
She wants the TECHO house so she can bring her mom to live with her and change her mom’s quality of life by offering her a safe place to stay.
Where does your donation go?
The Project
With your contribution, TECHO will be able to give this family a new home. It takes two full days to build the 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 them 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.
