A Global Builders trip to El Salvador gives the opportunity to help build homes with local families, learn about El Salvador, and make cross-cultural friendships. The trip will also support the local economy, provide jobs to locals, and offer life-changing experiences to everyone involved. The Fuller Center has been building in El Salvador since 2008, completing hundreds of homes in many communities around the country. We are currently working on a community of 100 homes in the city of Apaneca. Most importantly, Fuller Center homes are made of permanent materials that keep out the elements like concrete blocks and dry roofs instead of the rusted tin, plastic and mud that far too many familiies have lived in their whole lives. While simple by First World standards, they mark a life-changing improvement that has been shown to improve long-term family outcomes in areas like health and education, improving a family’s overall well-being. Join us in changing the life a family forever by partnering alongside them and providing a decent, honorable home! Visit our website for more information.
