Every family should have a safe home. Over 300,000 families in El Salvador do not have one.
Our mission is to provide a home for every Salvadoran in need. But we can’t do it without you.
Building hope for $3,800 per home
“I felt so much joy when we heard that we were a getting a new house. All I think about now is that my kids will no longer get wet from the rain.”
Partnership Matters
Community leaders are developed, trained and consulted in every community.
Salvadoran families receiving homes are involved at every stage to enhance a sense of ownership and dignity.
Teams and donors bring hope through financial support and meaningful connections with the families, sharing in the joy of a new and better future.
