Home Building

A Home of Their Own Changes Everything

Since 2009 we have built 203 sturdy, dignified homes for families across rural Guatemala. Each house is more than walls and a roof — it is stability, health, and hope for the next generation.

The Need

Why Housing Matters

Thousands of families in rural Guatemala live in overcrowded structures with dirt floors, leaking roofs, and little protection from rain or earthquakes. These conditions make it harder to stay healthy, keep children in school, and build a better future.

A well-built home gives a family a place they can be proud of — a foundation for everything else.

Our Approach

Built With Families, Not For Them

We partner with local communities at every step. Families and neighbors help with the work. Local masons and laborers receive training and fair wages. We use earthquake-resistant methods — reinforced columns and beams that allow the house to move with the ground instead of against it.

Every project is bathed in prayer. We come alongside families, share the love of Jesus, and leave behind more than a building.
