Filadelfo José Chavarría Castillo : Nicaragua

$200 of $500 raised.

Started raising funds on Sep 5, 2008

Filadelfo, 43, lives in the Hialeah neighborhood of Managua. He has two children, 7 and 14, who are both in school. He has worked two years as a driver for a private company. He has had a difficult time building his house because his income is so low. His wife, consequently, is working as a maid for another family so that she can help her husband and together they can apply for a loan. With the requested loan, they will build a wall, 12 meters along the outside and 5 meters along the house. For this, they will buy stone, cement, sand and iron bar. Filadelfo and his wife hope that with both of them now working, they can improve their house and provide the life that their family deserves.
