Community Development--Latest Success!

By Alejandra Molina - Project Manager, August 11, 2008 01:40 PM

We can say with confidence that we have hit the target as regards to helping disolve Colombia’s internal conflict. Today, we can proudly state that with the help of various donors, over 700 families have already bought a home, and 60 families have successfully built their first one!

Colombia’s internal conflict has trigger the displacement of more than three million people, forcing them to live in alarming conditions without access to safe drinking water, or even decent housing.

We are first hand witnesses of the joy of many families that for the first time have had the wonderful opportunity of building their own house!

Our efforts and diligent work have materialized in many successes, remunerated by the prize of their joy and the smiles in their faces.

Be part of this dream; be part of its transformation to reality. Giving displaced families hope for a more stable and prosperous future, strengthens the social fabric of their community!

Remember that your support not only helps these families build their houses, but also it helps them secure long term livelihoods thanks to the financial education included in the program! Also keep in mind that this community is building eco-friendly homes!

Thanks for your support and please continue to join us in this endeavor– your contributions are truly valuable.
