TECHO (teh-choh) is a youth-led non-profit organization that works in informal settlements to create a just society without poverty
Today over 200 million people live in poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean. No proper home, no potable water, sewage, or electricity access. Our mission is to change that reality, working to create system-changing solutions to end poverty and shape a future we all want to live in
How we do it
We work together to assess the community’s needs, develop an action plan, and provide them with the tools to improve their quality of life and transform their communities. We do this with the support of our donors, volunteers, and families, all working together for a common goal
Housing Solutions
Access to decent housing is a universal right and a place to meet our basic needs. One of our main goals is to bring families closer to decent housing. We seek to respond to the housing deficit caused by poverty or and natural disasters that affect thousands of people.
The emergency houses are made out of prefabricated wood panels, which allows for their efficient construction. They are built by the families who receive the house alongside volunteers.
