Casa De Jennilix
Hurricane Relief: Session 4
The final group of the season worked hard to get the walls up!
This marks our stopping point for the year, and what a strong finish it’s been. In 2026, we look forward to continuing the project—sectioning off the rooms so Jennilix can begin turning this new structure into a true home. Our hope is that her grandmother will soon return to the neighborhood she’s always called home.
Hurricane Relief: Session 3
Nineteen students from across the country helped kick off this project! Their goal was to lay the groundwork—literally—by setting the foundation and securing the floor. Over three intense days of work, they leveled the ground, poured cement to create a solid base, laid the rebar, and filled in the entire area with concrete.
Stay Involved
Global Works funds essential building materials like wood, rebar, cement, and tools for these projects. However, once a home is complete, families receive no additional support from the government or Global Works. To make their homes fully functional, they must purchase windows, doors, plaster, and paint—expenses that can take years to afford in a low-income community. To help bridge this gap, our program director is working with community members to collect and distribute donations, ensuring these houses truly feel like home
