Casa Benito Project
Proposed new building
Help us help rural hondurans realize their potential through the construction of a community center and volunteer housing complex in rural Opatoro
The Casa Benito Project is our response to the need for safe, reliable housing for our volunteers, as well as for other NGOs working in the region. In imagining the potential of Casa Benito, we discovered that the building could be so much more than a place to sleep.
