In a desperate search for work, families came to this area from other parts of Peru, particularly the Andes. They cannot obtain typical credit opportunities because of low incomes and lack of collateral. As a result, they live in structures made of reed panels. These houses are flimsy and lack privacy. We are helping move families from homes of woven sticks to homes of bricks. The area is susceptible to earthquakes, so FCH homes are built earthquake-resistant.
Each trip to Peru will be with a group of mission-minded volunteers - typically 8-20 total - who want to experience the world, meet new people, and make a difference. No skills required. Trips last 1-2 weeks and include sightseeing. Our country leader, Zenon Colque, loves to share his history with the Fuller Center and his culture! Contact us to learn more!

Mission Statement
The Fuller Center for Housing, faith-driven and Christ-centered, promotes collaborative and innovative partnerships with individuals and organizations in an unrelenting quest to provide adequate shelter for all people in need worldwide.
Description
The Fuller Center creates partnerships within communities that bring together churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations to build decent, affordable homes in partnership with people who are unable to secure adequate housing by conventional means. The Fuller Center works in collaboration with our covenant partners, other service-oriented organizations and countless volunteers to build their own homes, which are then sold to them on terms they can afford, based on the Biblical idea of no-profit, no-interest loans.
Through our Global Builders program, we have many opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved with our work. We currently send teams to 10 different countries to spend 1-2 weeks working on homes and getting to know the local culture. No construction skill are necessary.
