How You Can Help
Volunteer
Volunteering at Constru Casa offers a unique cultural experience. Our volunteers share an intensive work time with the local masons, and have the opportunity to better experience the Guatemalan culture through interacting with the family that receives the new home.

Raise Fund

As a non-profit, non-government organization, the invaluable work of Constru Casa relies heavily on outside contributions. The hard work, dedication and donations provided by our supporters are integral to the functioning of Constru Casa and our ability to fulfill our mission. We encourage all our volunteers to try and raise a $500 USD /EU 450 contribution to the house they work on in Guatemala. You can contact us to get more fundraising information; additionally, if requested we are happy to supply photos and stories of the families who are waiting for their new homes. We suggest holding fundraising events and activities in which you can use the families’ stories and other information materials that Constru Casa can provide. It is important that all volunteers, fundraisers and donors understand that their contribution goes directly towards buying materials such as block and cement, or towards the labor cost of the local Guatemalan masons who assist volunteers on every construction.
