Because adequate housing is a prerequisite for the harmonious development of people and communities, we renovate, build, facilitate, and educate and we are active to create the foundations of new lives.
We achieve this by involving donations, sponsorships and hosting dozens of volunteers annually within our programs.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
We believe that with a decent home and a welcoming space, children will be more successful in school and may relate differently to other children. It will create bonds of friendship and cooperation between the family and neighboring families which will lead to a much safer atmosphere in the community. Having a home where the family is united, it will avoid dropout due to the lack of supervision of children by the parents working abroad. It prevents disruption of families which is another consequence of their migration to other countries. In other words Door to Home seeks not just to build homes but build communities, an impact we want to perpetuate for a longer period of time. Read more....

COMMUNITY EDUCATION
The lack of knowledge in different areas (Energy and Financial Efficiency, Disaster Response) determines behaviors that affect daily life. The lack of practical information causes high consumption of material, money, and human resources while not improving the quality of life. The identified need is to educate the community in these areas by offering free courses for targeted communities. Read more....
DISASTER RESPONSE PROGRAM
Given the high risk of natural disasters produced in the area, many families are at risk of flooding, landslides and earthquakes. Following the events of 2005 and 2010 it was noted that there is a lack of education regarding appropriate behavior in case of such events, and also a lack of a minimum equipment required for an immediate intervention in such cases. Door to Home responds to disasters, regardless of its scale, using the experience gained in such intervention, based on the knowledge, resources and capacity available. Read more....
