Building Homes and
Giving Hope -
Just imagine, $10.00 a month can build 50 homes. For the price of two cups of coffee at Starbucks a month you can build 50 homes. For the price of one movie and a small coke each month you can build 50 homes. For the price of two happy meals each month you can build 50 homes.
Although $10.00 a month is not an insignificant amount of money I’m sure you never imagined you could build 50 homes with it. For $10.00 a month you can help an extremely needy family move out of their bamboo hut and move into a beautiful, noble, secure and dignified home.
Please prayerfully consider joining this noble cause by participating in our Huts to Homes Project. We encourage you to sign up with Pay-Pal.

Bamboo Huts much like this one are only shelter that many of the people in Uracco Pueblo have to live in. They are weak bamboo shelters covered by a piece of scrap metal to keep the rain out. There is no running water or electricity.
Families of five to six people live in one bedroom bamboo huts on land that is not theirs. Everyday they face the risk that their hut could be removed by the owner of the land, leaving them homeless.
Cost: $6,000
(Depending on the cost of concrete.)
These are the new homes that we are constructing in Uracco Pueblo. They are being constructed of concrete blocks and are elevated on 8 foot stilts to protect from future hurricane flooding. These home are on land that is owned by Project Solidarity.
They will all have running water and electricity. They consist of one main living area and two bedrooms. The shaded are under the house will serve as a cool get-a-way from the intense heat and humidity.
Project Solidarity has built more than a dozen homes and is currently developing a housing project on land that will accomodate 54 homes. The cost of a simple, but noble home is $6,000. |
