Well-Being For All

Houses For Health Update

So far we have received funds for 290 homes - what an outstanding contribution on the part of all the donors involved. Thank you so much. Construction has begun and over the months we hope to have photos from the field to share with you here. The one above is simply a truckload of cement bags.

Quite different from construction here when the concrete truck arrives ready to pour cement. In Honduras it is all mixed onsite mostly with a hoe and shovel right on the dirt with sand and gravel that also have to be trucked in from a river valley somewhere close enough to keep the trucking cost reasonable.

The truck itself belongs to our partner PRR and they will continue to use it, maintain it and repair it until they trade up to a newer model in a few month or a few years. Like everything else down there is it used until there is nothing left and then it is salvaged for every useable scrap. Our hope for PRR is that there is enough work for them in this project that they will end up with a newer truck at the end of it all.
