“A Roof for my Country Mexico” has assumed the challenge of fighting poverty in Mexico. In the first stage we are building as many emergency houses as we can, providing families with a new beginning.
Un techo para mi País, is an organization created in Chile in 1997, with the main objective of ending extreme poverty in the continent. As a result of the hard work of these young volunteers, the project has presence nowadays in 9 countries, México is one of them. In Mexico we’ve been working since March 2006. We’ve already built 27 emergency houses and mobilized 150 college volunteers. 2007 represents a big challenge; we aim to benefit 200 new families, and to mobilize 1500 volunteers.
We have two types of constructions: university-led and corporate-led. However, in order to be successful, constructions are a joint effort between volunteers and families.
¡The Youth will not allow the poor to wait! The project will help not only poor families, but also it is a great alternative for creating social conscience in the youth and the rest of the society.
Un Techo para mi País México has been a wonderful experience. I can say that it has change my life, and has taught me that no one needs charity; what people need is an opportunity.
