A house means much more than a protection against weather and natural external elements. It is essential for the development of individual capabilities and family ties. It can be a source of security and stability, especially for the urban population living in poverty. It is also often a place of work. In this regard, although it is not in itself enough to guarantee decent living conditions, home ownership tends to be a widespread and highly valued aspiration.

There are needy adults whose “houses” are in a state of very deplorable conditions, have fallen or are at risk of falling. In these cases, Sense of Life, through the Corporación Familia Foundation, rebuilds the houses or makes them brand new within a decent and healthy space. Having a decent, quality house will have a positive influence on the development of other capabilities related to health, nutrition and education.
