A Home Changes Everything!
At Roof to Live, we believe that every better life begins with a safe and secure home. Yet in rural communities across Ecuador, countless families are living in fragile, unsafe shelters — exposed to the elements, lacking privacy, and without a true sense of security.
We’re a grassroots nonprofit powered entirely by volunteers, and we’re committed to changing that. Every dollar we raise goes directly toward building homes for families in need — with no overhead, no salaries, and no administrative costs. Just real people, creating real change.
Because shelter isn't a luxury - it's a human right.
GOT YOU COVERED
Ready to be part of something bigger than yourself?
GOT YOU COVERED is our monthly giving program, where 100% of every dollar goes straight to building homes for families in need. By joining, you’re not just donating — you’re giving a family the chance at a safer, brighter future, month after month.
Just $10 per month will help provide a home to a family in need.
Join us - and help turn shelter into hope
The number of families ROOFtoLIVE can help every year depends on the donations we receive. A house costs approximately $10,000 including materials and labor. ROOFtoLIVE is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means that your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Not ready to give monthly?
Make a one-time donation and help Doña Carmen attain a safe place to call home.
Because having a secure place to live, is one of the fundamental elements for human dignity, physical and mental health and overall quality of life, which enables one’s development.
