Build A Home
Our work doesn’t stop at the clinic.
At Casa Tabito, every child in our Nutrition or Special Needs Program is guaranteed more than medical care—we ensure they live in a safe, healthy home. To truly thrive, children need clean water, proper sanitation, a roof that doesn’t leak, solid floors, and doors that lock. Sometimes that means urgent repairs. Other times, it means building an entirely new home. Local crews construct our homes, which take about six weeks to complete. Each includes a cement floor, block walls, a bathroom with a flushing toilet and shower, and a kitchen with a clean-air stove that vents smoke outside. Every home has locking doors and new beds—essential for safety and dignity.
We also take care of the legal work to ensure that the land deed is secured in the mother’s name, safeguarding her children’s future and providing generational stability.
Protecting what matters most
Right now, 18 families are waiting for a home
Meet our most urgent needs and be part of a story that changes everything.
A HOME FOR
Hewer
Hewer’s parents, Maria and Julio, reside in the village of Santa Izabel with their family of seven. Julio works as a farmer, earning approximately Q1,200 per month—equivalent to about $155, or just $5 per day. Their home, constructed primarily of wood, is in poor condition and suffers from extensive water damage. During the rainy season, water frequently enters the house from the street, further compromising the structure. The proposed construction would include a retention wall to help mitigate this issue and provide greater stability for the home
A HOME FOR
Rosa Angelica
Ana Liria is a loving and hardworking single mother to five beautiful children in the rural community of San Jacinto, Guatemala. With incredible dedication, she supports her family by weaving traditional guipiles—colorful, handwoven blouses that reflect the rich cultural heritage of her people.
Despite her talent and effort, Ana Liria earns only Q400 a month, about $51, making it difficult to meet even their most basic needs. The family currently lives in a small structure made of deteriorating metal sheets that offer little protection from wind, rain, or cold. Their living conditions are harsh, especially during the rainy season. Her gentle spirit and humble heart have touched our staff at Casa Tabito. We’ve come to know Ana Liria through her youngest daughters, Rosa Angelica & Jenny, who receive care through our Milagros and Graduate programs.
A HOME FOR
Mildred
Ismelda lives in the village of El Rosario with her daughter Mildred, her mother, and her brother. She works as a farmer and earns Q1,400 a month—about $181—which she uses to support all four family members.
Mildred is part of our GEMAS program, where she receives regular care and check-ups from our doctors. Through this connection, we’ve come to know and love this resilient family—and we’ve seen firsthand the difficult conditions they’re facing every day.
Their current home is made of wooden planks and is showing serious signs of wear. The property also lacks a bathroom and has no drainage system, adding to the family's daily challenges.
