Earthship Biotecture and Long Way Home are teaming up to build a Michael Reynolds-designed, self-sustainable and recycled Earthship home for a single mother of five in San Juan Comalapa. We're bringing together close to 60 people to spend 12 days constructing this house. There is still time to donate!!
The intergenerational benefits of the opportunities provided by education have broken the cycle of dependency and poverty in
many areas of the world, and have a tremendous opportunity to do so in rural Guatemala. Currently a majority of people in
San Juan Comalapa subsistence farm for a living, which does not supply them with all of their basic needs.
Long Way Home has dedicated itself to building a school in this town to bring education and job training to the people of
this Mayan community. The education will in turn help them find employment.
San Juan Comalapa also has a garbage problem that can cause illness and disease. By using alternative construction
techniques with materials that would otherwise be burned or enter the water supply, Long Way Home has created a solution
for part of this dilemma. Through education, employment, and health the people of San Juan Comalapa have the power to
increase the quality of life for generations to come.
