From Houses To Homes - Scotland

Homepage

From Houses To Homes are based in the Guatemalan city of Antigua. Founded in September 2004 we have built over 300 homes to date.

In the poorest areas of highland Guatemala, improper building materials, a lack of appropriate resources, and unsustainable architecture turns houses to foul rubble in the blink of an eye.

Many families live in makeshift homes that are constructed of nothing more than cornstalk or cardboard walls with dirt floors. Decrepit housing quashes hope, fuels health problems, and destroys family unity.

The aim of our organisation is to provide healthy homes, education, medical care and to build a sense of community. We work with the poorest Guatemalan families to build or rebuild houses making them strong, safe, culturally appropriate, and affordable to maintain. We recognise that flourishing homes and thriving communities begin with improving actual home structure.

Our sole source of income is through fundraising and donations, so thank you for your generosity. We would not be able to do this work without your help!
