Every project needs two things: hands to do the work, and money for materials. You can provide either.<\/p>\n

Come and work<\/h3>\n

Eleven days in July. You’ll stay with a family in Jad\u00e1n, work alongside El Maestro and the other volunteers, and eat at your family’s table. No construction experience and no Spanish required.<\/p>\n

Fund the materials<\/h3>\n

Cement, roofing, lumber, tools \u2014 all bought locally in Ecuador. Most of the people who make this work possible will never get on the plane, and the build still has to be paid for.<\/p>\n

Jad\u00e1n is a rural parish in the hills about 45 minutes from the center of Cuenca. We work on homes: bathrooms where there were none, roofs, floors, walls. For 2027 the emphasis is bathrooms.<\/p>\n

El Maestro<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>is the professional construction director who runs the build. He decides how the work gets done and who does what. You’ll be handed a job you can manage, whatever your skills are, and there is real work for people who have never held a trowel.<\/p>\n

Local leaders in Jad\u00e1n identify the households that need work, and we go and look at them together. Then we price the materials, weigh the skills each job takes, and decide what we can reasonably take on with the volunteers and the money we have that year.<\/p>\n

Some years that means saying no to a project we’d like to do. We’d rather tell you that than pretend the list is longer than our capacity.<\/p>\n
