This elderly house receives 56 old people who gets old and lives alone in the countryside.
They cannot continue subsisting in their small farms in those conditions.
The foundation San Vicente de Paul led by Iris Contreras decides to stimulate a project with
only local social participation, they asked our professional support as part of the social
cooperation.
We built 1.000 m2 in middle of the rain forest, the building gives to these elders a new chance
to share the last part of their life in a safe environment, warm house, friendship, and forest,
sea, and kitchen gardens.
