Together, let’s build a secure home for a family in desperate need.
A staggering 53.2% of people in Oaxaca, Mexico live in poverty. Most families are dealing with severe unemployment and poor education. This has entangled many families in a cycle of poverty nearly impossible to escape.
Many families have no other choice but to live in tin shacks, thrown together with whatever materials can be scavenged or purchased with the little money they have. In the hot months, these houses are like small ovens. In the winter, they are cold, with no insulation to keep warm.
