TECHO is an organization present in 19 Latin American countries, which seeks to overcome the situation of poverty that millions of people live in overcrowded and under resourced settlements, through the joint action of its inhabitants and volunteers.
Our goal is to provide girls and adolescents in rural communities with a safe space to learn about their lives, strengthen their support networks and equip them with life skills.
650 million people live in extreme poverty. We cannot solve this challenge alone. We work with incredible partners at different levels to help women lift themselves out of poverty. Our programs aim to reach the most marginalized communities, such as women, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities and internally displaced people. Our participants are the ones with the ideas and determination to end extreme poverty. Our approach allows us to partner with women starting their own microenterprises and improve financial inclusion.
