TECHO

28 years

More than 674 thousand lives changed and more than 1.6 million volunteers mobilized. It all started with a dream and a mission towards a just society without poverty. This is the trajectory of TECHO. Let's celebrate together!

The girl with a dancing heart

Panchita!

“Mama we have a floor! We have a floor!” From the moment a volunteer described the joy of seeing a 6-year-old girl dance in her new TECHO house for the first time, our short story began to fall into place. TECHO joined forces with Unsaid Studio to bring to life the story of Panchita, a 6-year-old girl that lives in an informal settlement.

We're TECHO

TECHO (teh-choh) is a youth-led non-profit organization that works in informal settlements to create a just society without poverty. Today over 200 million people live in poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean. No proper home, no potable water, sewage, or electricity access. Our mission is to change that reality, working to create system-changing solutions to end poverty and shape a future we all want to live in.
