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
Dhaira
We first met Marta and her baby, Dhaira, in July 2024 when a government clinic referred them to us due to Dhaira’s severe malnutrition. Today, Dhaira is healthy and thriving, and we continue to see her each year for her checkups. Marta and her husband, Héctor, currently share a single room with five other relatives in a home crowded with 17 family members. Héctor works as a farmer, earning about $40 per month, while Marta is now expecting their second child. A safe and secure home will be a tremendous blessing for this growing family.
A HOME FOR
Dayli
Dayli and her mother, Cedma, live in the nearby village of Cerro Alto. We first met them when Dayli was 9 years old in 2020, after they came to Casa Tabito seeking medical care. It was then that we discovered Dayli has epilepsy. Today, she is part of our GEMAS program for children with special needs, where she receives her medication and ongoing medical care completely free of charge.
Dayli and Cedma have lived in a wooden home for 15 years. Now it’s falling apart. When the rainy season comes, water seeps through the walls. With what little they have, they’ve managed to create a makeshift bathroom, covered by a sheet of plastic. A safe, stable, and dignified home could give Dayli and Cedma the security they’ve never had—a place to grow, laugh, and simply be a family.
A HOME FOR
Evelyn
We recently met this family after Evelyn’s daughter, also named Evelyn, was referred to us by a local government clinic for being significantly underweight at just 11 months old. The family currently lives in Evelyn’s parents’ home, where they have only one room of their own. Evelyn, her husband—a farmer—and their three children all share a single bed.
