Guatemala Housing Alliance, with the help of generous donors, has completed the 2 homes for this particular family. More fundraisers will be forthcoming, as the need for adequate housing in the highlands of Guatemala is immense.
Starting later this month, GHA will build it's first Bajareque home. Built in a traditional method with bamboo, rocks and mud, it will be much more environmentally sustainable than the ubiquitous cement block homes, while also being more comfortable. It will be stucco'd inside and out for weather proofing and beauty, and will be earthquake resistant.. Be on the look out for a fundraiser for this.
