Click on the image to view the slideshow of a development by Echale a tu Casa in Mexico. In September of 2013 a small community located near Acapulco was completely destroyed when a dam broke and an enormous wall of water devastated their farms, houses, schools, everything was washed away. Miraculously, the entire community was attending a birthday party up above the valley at the time and not a single person died. But more than two hundred families were left homeless. The government, working with Echale a tu Casa, began rebuilding on June 7th, 2014. The project of nearly two hundred homes, a school and a new church is almost complete. The community itself is providing the labor and being paid to do so. The building model, developed by Echale a tu Casa, has been used to build over 30,000 homes throughout Mexico.
