Volunteer

At CONSTRU CASA, we believe that real change starts with commitment and action. Join us as a volunteer and be part of a community dedicated to transforming lives and building a better future for families in Guatemala.

What is CONSTRU CASA Volunteering?⁣ Picture a family living in extreme poverty without a safe and sturdy home to shelter them from the elements. Or children attending makeshift schools without proper classrooms or desks. These basic needs are fundamental for families in impoverished communities, yet many still lack adequate resources.⁣

This is where you can make a difference. As a volunteer with CONSTRU CASA, you’ll work alongside local organizations to build or improve essential infrastructure for families in need. You’ll help construct homes, schools, clinics, and community centers, providing families with safe and dignified living spaces. Additionally, you may assist in installing plumbing, rainwater harvesting systems, and other vital amenities to improve access to clean water and sanitation.⁣

If you enjoy hands-on work and want to create a lasting impact, join Constru Casa’s volunteer building projects. Your efforts will directly improve the lives of families in extreme poverty, giving them hope for a brighter future.
