Constru Casa receives ongoing support from various foundations in The Netherlands including the following and also tries to find support in Guatemala.

Foundation Leven in Guatemala

The foundation Leven in Guatemala was founded in August 2003 by the housing corporation Laurentius in Breda. In the context of "Laurentius as a housing corporation which wants to be there also for people in Guatemala", the foundation is a structural sponsor of Constru Casa.

The foundation Leven in Guatemala has so far financed 19 houses in 2004 and more than 50 in 2005. In 2006, with the support of the foundation we hope to construct 48 houses.

The Dutch organizations that support Constru Casa through Leven in Guatemala are amongst others:

* Stichting Anton Jurgens Fonds 1969
* NCDO
* Fonds Werken aan Wonen
* KVO kring Breda
* ICCO
* Paul Tensen Stichting

Foundation Guatemala en Construcción

The foundation Guatemala en Construcción was founded in December 2003 in Holland by friends of Carolien van Heerde, and supports small scale projects in Guatemala in the field of construction, education and health care.

With the financial support of Guatemala en Construcción, Constru Casa was able to build houses in amongst others Jocotenango, Santa María de Jesús, Momostenango, Las Cañas, San Antonio Aguas Calientes, Magdalena Milpas Altas and Alotenango.

Through this way we would like to thank all the donors of Constru Casa for their support!!

Foundation Commundo

The foundation Commundo organizes travel holidays in combination with volunteer work. Part of the trip’s expenses is donated to the projects. Volunteers of Commundo helped in 2004 with the construction of four houses, in 2005 they helped with three houses and in 2006 7 volunteers helped with the construction of different houses. In 2007 three groups of volunteers helped in the construction of six houses for Constru Casa.

Constru Casa can deliver custom made trips for groups of volunteers from, for instance, companies, schools or other institutions and also for individual travelers who want to construct in a group. These trips are offered by the foundation Commundo. They have a range of standard trips in their assortment and are able to deliver custom made trips.

Fundraising in Guatemala

Constru Casa is continuously looking for Guatemalan contributions to the project. Firstly, we try to get a discount for locally bought materials. Secondly, we try to raise Guatemalan funds or receive Guatemalan subsidies.

We actively approach companies and the government to make them contribute to Constru Casa. Recently, we received the first financial donations from individuals and companies, and we will keep on looking for other possibilities.

The total labour and material costs of the complete 3-rooms house are on average € 2.300,-. If your company is willing to support Constru Casa, please contact us through contacto@construcasa.org. We also have special information for sponsoring available..
