BUILDING HOMES

BUILDING HOMES

A simple cinder block home is a gift that brings hope to a family living in the Guatemala City garbage dump community.

It often takes multiple generations for a family in the communities to save up for a new home, our teams build homes to rescue and renew the hope of families. Cinderblock homes are the foundational projects of Hope’s In. One cinderblock home costs $5,500-$7,500.  Our summer volunteers spend one week building cinderblock homes for families in desperate need of a stable house. Volunteers spend the entire week working alongside the families receiving the homes.  From the first day of scraping walls to the final day when they hand over the keys, building the home together is a once in a lifetime experience.
