We provide safe and dignified housing for those in need, ensuring families have a place to call home. The average cost to build a house is $10,000.
Description
The Caritas organization believes that more can be done for those in need and vulnerable communities. That’s why they work diligently and with dedication to address the needs and circumstances of the disadvantaged, protect the rights of the weak, and provide poor communities with the tools they need to build new lives.

Our Actions
The “Building Lives” program helps reduce the housing deficit by providing safe and dignified homes to vulnerable families who lack the resources to build their own roof, thus contributing to solving the housing problem in the Archdiocese of Santiago, Dominican Republic.
Ways to Collaborate
We Must Continue Our Mission
We can’t do this lifesaving work without your help.
Private funding is needed now more than ever to ensure that our most vulnerable brothers and sisters can count on us—to help them build a home, feed their families, and rebuild their lives.
When you give, you help transform lives, families, and entire communities.
There are many ways your generosity can support the different programs of Cáritas Arquidiocesana de Santiago, transforming the lives of those most in need. Your contribution is 100% tax-deductible, allowing you to receive valuable tax benefits while making a meaningful donation.
At each house key handover, the family receives a visit and blessing from Deacon Johnny Díaz, Deacon Marcos, the Bishop of the Diocese of Santiago, Monsignor Héctor Rafael Rodríguez, and the local priest.
