Q: Who does TTH typically build homes for?

The homes that we build are for orphans or vulnerable children, also termed OVC’s.  These children are identified through our relationships with local churches and home based care volunteers.

The United Nations defines an orphan as a child who has lost one or both parents. (UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic. 2010)

It costs $5000 to build one home for orphans or vulnerable children and only $5 to buy a brick.
