Teams and Construction Needs

House of Hope has been under construction since July of 2004. We will have a total of 30 houses for women with multiple children (ten units are completed). Also completed are ten units for mothers with one child and a dormitory for 36 young girls with no kids. We have a front reception area and office (which needs rebuilding due to a recent fire). We now have a dining hall where the residents eat and serves as the work space for the card making cottage industry. We will eventually have a sewing factory.

The construction is funded by teams that raise funds for the construction materials and then come to Nicaragua to donate their labor. We host a maximum of one contruction team per month.

House of Hope is also in need of other types of team work. Teams can also be involved in Vacation Bible School (VBS), medical/dental, sewing/knitting or teaching Bible classes. Teams can also combine work such as one team may do both construction work with VBS.

There is still much to be done. If you are interested in leading a team please email us. Donations for the cost of the construction should be designated “House of Hope” and sent to:
