During the days 7 to 13 of July, volunteers worked together with 30 families to built transitional housing in two different communities in Campinas, São Paulo.
They spent 6 days in complete immersion in a different social reality working together and getting to know these families, their lifestyles, their needs, hopes and dreams, so the volunteers can not only help them with the housing issue, but get to understand in which other ways can we help the community to develop.
TETO works to overcome poverty through the joint work of volunteers and families that live in invisible communities, and the construction of transitional housing is not only a solution to a problem that is urgent, but also helps create a trust link between volunteers and families, so they can work together and find solutions to other problems that the community may have.
