The organization is a social housing project that provides the opportunity for needy families to work in the construction of their own homes, for the purpose of leaving the rent or the street. There is also social monitoring, supervision of children in school and in studies, as well as police reports on the involvement of project residents with drugs and other crimes. We also help them when they have a legal problem, instructing them how to proceed. After a certain amount of time has been chosen by the members of the project board for each specific case, the person has the opportunity to acquire title to the property by donating the building materials of any other family that may be coming. Today the project has more than 750 assisted families, being a reference for the region.
