Work Crews
Habitat for Humanity El Salvador promotes the participation of work crews, made up of national and international volunteers.
Churches, schools, universities, and businesses join the families in the construction process contributing labor, time, and shared experiences.
Blitz Builds
In one week of intense work, a series of homes are built with the support of national and international volunteers. There are three events that take place annually:
- Christmas in Action, the first week of December. (November 29 - December 5, 2009)
- Rise Up and Build, during Easter week vacation. (March 28 - April 3, 2010)
- Building on Faith, during summer vacation. (August 1 - 7, 2010)
What are Triangles of Faith?
We hope to offer churches a tool in the fight against substandard housing in El Salvador. By putting their faith into action, members of congregations of Salvadoran churches and international churches work side-by-side on Habitat construction sites. In doing so, they build not only houses but also personal relationships, thus bringing their churches closer together in what we call Triangles of Faith.
