Techo Honduras
TECHO (lit. ROOF) Honduras is a project that extends throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. It was created with the aim of poverty reduction. In particular, by developing improvements in the housing conditions of vulnerable populations through workshops involving young volunteers. TECHO's objectives are to foster community development in precarious settlements, promote awareness and social action, and carry out the advocacy of policies to generate structural changes. In Honduras, the project includes cooperation agreements with various municipalities and public entities in order to improve the living conditions and community organization. In 2011, Techo Honduras had around 509 000 volunteers.
