Get Involved - TECHO US

114 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean live in precarious places. And for the most part, without adequate housing.

When grouped together, these families make up a popular settlement, where more than half of the population does not have title to the land, nor regular access to at least one basic service.

There are people willing to change this reality. More than 1.2 million people have already volunteered with TECHO.

Knowing that popular settlements are a reflection of inequality in Latin America, TECHO arises from the mobilization of youth who are convinced that this reality can be overcome through voluntary action.
