Building and Home Repairs

 

Many Guatemalans lack the basic necessity of a workable shelter that keeps them dry, warm and safe.

Mayan Families Canada has been involved in many building and home repair projects. These have included roof repairs, rebuilds of dangerous foundations and stairs, kitchen additions, and "bathroom" repairs.

At present Mayan Families Canada is also participating in the building of a Women's/Community Center in San Jorge. This center will provide women and their families with emergency shelter from abusive husbands, emergency food, sewing and nutrition classes, daycare, and a place for volunteer medical and dental teams to work out of.

 

 

 

The Women's/Community Center in San Jorge is completed.

 

 

 

 

Buildings and Home repairs are often expensive but are necessary to provide a safe environment for these families. We endeavor to keep funds on hand for these types of urgently needed projects.

 

A two-room house can be built for $5500
