Single-Mother Families

From the beginning we have placed top priority on sheltering single-mother families with no support system. These women are alone and burdened with caring for large families. Often due to husbands who abandon their family or widowed women.

Hard-Working Father Families

We also place importance on rewarding hard-working fathers who try to support their families. Usually, these families dwell in dilapidated houses due to do a lack of resources and jobs.

Inshuti Masons & Workers

Our vision is to build more than just homes, we are growing a community of Inshuti. Many of our house recipients are masons and workers who have been a part of the Inshuti community for multiple building seasons.

Genocide Surviors

People who survived the genocide live with unbearable trauma and are alone after losing their entire family.

Jean-Pierre's Family

"I have survived the Genocide only to be a refugee in the Congo, but I always wanted to return to Rwanda to raise my children. Now we live in a terrible house with leaking roof and sleep on the floor."

Worries of a father

"I am an old man (42 years old) and HIV+ making it harder for me to do manual labor all day. I go to sleep sad knowing I can't provide for my family and worry how I will feed my children."

A New Beginning

"I can't believe people in America would care about how we live. I feel like my family now has the chance of surviving and my children will have a better life.”
