Guatemala Housing Alliance builds secure homes with/for families in extreme poverty in the highlands of Guatemala while forging alliances with other non-profits tasked with addressing related components of poverty, among them education, health, employment and family planning.
This project will build 100 cement floors for Mayan families in the highlands of Guatemala who currently live on dirt that seasonally turns to mud. Cement floors quantitatively promote health and education, giving children a better chance to succeed. 80% of indigenous Guatemalans live in poverty, over 20% existing on less than $1/day.

We at Guatemala Housing Alliance build homes for and with families living in extreme poverty in the highlands. Our homes have always provided security, but our new hybrid homes offer BEAUTY, also, and are much more earth friendly than the ubiquitous cement block building. These homes, simple 15 x 20', 2 room structures, cost us about $3000 each to build...so little for such an impact. We can't do it without compassionate donor-partners.

This project will build a modest home to replace a dilapidated shack. The photo here is a sample of a home needing replacement. Rain enters through both the roof and the walls, variously made of plastic, rotted metal and cornstalks. Families have no choice but to sleep each night on the dirt or mud floor. Guatemala Housing Alliance needs your help to build healthy and secure homes.
