World Housing Foundation hasn't added a story.
World Housing gifts homes to families living in slums around the world.
Our Mission is to create social change by connecting the world to be a better community.
Local Partners Build Homes
World Housing works with local building partners who have in-depth knowledge of the community and years of proven impact in the region. In El Salvador, World Housing is proud to partner with New Story, an American non-profit organization present in Latin America & the Caribbean. New Story has created a people first process that utilizes local knowledge, labor and materials to create sustainable, long-term housing solutions. Since 2014 New Story has built 1,300 homes housing more than 5,000 people.
Achuchapán, El Salvador
In El Salvador poverty is widespread, 35% of families live below the international poverty line of $2.50 USD per day. Living at or below the international poverty line forces families to make extremely difficult decisions on a daily basis. Further complicating the situation is the fact that one in every three families are led by a single mother. Families that rely on a single income are more likely to remain in the cyclical trap of poverty.
Located 96 km west of El Salvador's Capital lies the small community of Achuchapán. Achuchapán has a municipal population of approximately 38,000 people. New Story has an established relationship with the local government and mayor, following the success of their first project; the local government has agreed to provide electricity, paved roads, clean water and more, furthering our impact on this community.
