Chimbote Homes Campaign

Did you know that you can build an entire home for $4,000 in Chimbote? Would you like to make a positive impact on a family who has very little? Last year we raised over $80,000 and sent 31 volunteers to help build homes for families in Chimbote. Our missionary members were responsible for building 9 new homes for families last year. St. Michael has also provided over $20,000 to Friends of Chimbote to help families obtain furniture as well as build additional homes. Donations of any amount will be greatly appreciated!
