Join us at our pub night on October 19 to enjoy good food, beer, and music, and to learn about Novacom’s “Homes & Hope” initiative to build homes in El Salvador for families in need! Check out the event details here.
For the past 10 years, Novacom has been privileged to help build homes for families in need in El Salvador. We’ve done this through the support of employees travelling to El Salvador to join in the building effort, as well as by helping purchase the materials needed to build the houses. Last year, we took a team of 12 people to the Victoria region of El Salvador, and built 15 homes in one week!
Novacom is taking a team of 15 to El Salvador from January 6-14, 2018, with the goal of building 20 more houses!
Our team members will be working alongside our Salvadorian friends in each community to construct the homes. The costs of the home building materials are raised through generous donations from businesses or individuals. All team members are responsible for the costs of their own flights, accommodations and meals.
We invite you to join us in the building effort, by helping contribute to the home material costs. The deadline for donations is November 30, allowing enough lead time for the supplier to manufacture the kits before we arrive in January. These pre-fabricated homes are purchased from a local supplier, at a cost of $3,400 CDN each. If you’re able to partner with us, select the level you wish to contribute as follows;
Platinum Partner (2 Houses) – $6,800
Gold Partner (1 House) – $3,400
Silver Partner (1/2 House) – $1,700
Bronze Partner (1/4 House) – $850
The organization we’re partnering with on this project is Shelter Canada (www.sheltercanada.ca). All donations for Shelter Canada are managed through The Great Commission Foundation (www.tgcfcanada.org), and are tax receiptable.
