This project will build 50 emergency houses in 2025 for vulnerable families living in popular settlements in the districts of San Juan de Miraflores and San Juan de Lurigancho in Lima, Peru. Each home will be built in just two days, alongside the beneficiary family and volunteers, providing a safe and dignified shelter while strengthening community organization and participation.
Housing precarity affects millions in Peru. Over 3 million people in Peru live in informal settlements, many without access to water, electricity, or sanitation. In places like San Juan de Miraflores and San Juan de Lurigancho, families live in fragile shelters exposed to rain, heat, and cold. Housing precarity puts their health, safety, and dignity at constant risk.
The construction of emergency houses offers greater structural safety, isolating families from mud floors and protecting them from harsh weather. It provides a dignified space for daily life and strengthens emotional well-being by offering privacy, security, and comfort. This directly improves family relationships and their perception of quality of life.
The project will transform the lives of 50 families (approx. 225 people) by providing safe, solid, and dignified housing. This stable environment improves health, emotional well-being, and daily comfort, while also creating conditions for better education, employment, and long-term opportunities-directly enhancing quality of life.
