Guatemala Housing Alliance

GHA is dedicated to constructing homes and providing educational scholarships for families in need. Share your thoughts, tell us your story and join in on the discussion. GHA's mission is both housing and education for under-served indigenous communities. Families often live in unhealthy, perilous situations in which homes are cobbled together with scavenged materials or cornstalks, and driving rain can turn dirt floors into parasitic mud. GHA's model unites 3 families in great need, a representative of each laboring on all 3 homes as their sole contribution to having their own. Each home is built in the traditional Bajareque, wattle and daub, method which is sustainable, comfortable, beautiful, and durable. GHA also repairs leaky roofs and replaces dirt floors with cement. Our second mission is education. We provide scholarships from primary school through college and offer enrichment studies, promoting real change for future generations.

THE gha The Guatemala Housing Alliance was founded in 2011 with the goal of helping to alleviate some of the worst housing deficiencies so prevalent in the Guatemalan highlands. Our hope is that by working with the most poorly housed we will not only help to secure safer home but will also build alliances with other nonprofits tasked with addressing related components of poverty among them education health employment and family planning. Lend a hand Whether youre a seasoned builder or have never even seen a hammer your time as a GHA volunteer will be both personally enriching and hugely helpful. Our volunteersdonors get handson experience building homes on a crew with local masons and a members of the family who will live in the home theyre building.
