The project started in January 1999 and by September the association will have renovated 189 houses in collaboration with the local association Compartir. Under the supervision of building technicians, the beneficiary families are actively involved in the work. Particular attention is being paid to the foundations and retaining walls to prevent further damage from bad weather.
Following this, TGH applied to the European Commission to work on an agricultural development programme, but the project was not accepted and the association left the South American continent.
