Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity has built homes in virtually every country of Latin America and the Caribbean. The first Habitat house in the region was built in Guatemala in 1979.

More Habitat homes have been built in Mexico than in any country except the United States.

The population of cities in Latin America is growing at an astonishing rate as the rural poor flock to metropolitan areas seeking the chance for a better lift. But as the cities grow, land in and around them becomes more expensive, often rising beyond the reach of even middle-class residents.
