The non-profit organization Techo will celebrate its first two decades of work in Argentina with an action scheduled for March 17, 18 and 19 through which 120 homes are expected to be built emergency in 11 provinces -simultaneously-.
”This 2023 we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of TECHO in Argentinasince we took our first steps together with volunteers and neighbors in the province of Córdoba, in 2003″, said Eric Jaloff Nieto, general coordinator of Techo-Argentina.
For Nieto, “this action is historic both for the objective sought and for the scope that this federal initiative will have.” According to the coordinator of the NGO, the commitment and conviction to work so that the families in the settlements stop living on a dirt floor remain intact, which is why: “We decided to commemorate this anniversary with a collective action that serves to modify the day to day of more than 100 families, throughout the country,” said Nieto.
The solidarity measure that is part of the Emergency Housing Construction Program seeks to guarantee access to housing for families living in popular neighborhoods, through a concrete and impactful housing solution. The activity will last for three days and will take place in 15 popular neighborhoods of the Argentine Republic.
To be able to do it Techo summons young people from the provinces of Buenos Aires, Salta, Tucumán, Misiones, Corrientes, Chaco, Mendoza, Córdoba, Rosario, Neuquén and Río Negro. Those who wish to take part can register by entering the organization’s website.
