What do we do?
Our lines of action
Our core mission is to build decent housing. We support families and their communities by providing assistance, sports facilities, and spaces for children. We don't make promises; we deliver results, and we show them.
Decent housing
We build and improve homes for families in precarious situations.
Help for families
Markets, donations and support days in their communities.
Sports and recreation
Sports activities that keep children off the streets and create community.
Childhood and community
We accompany children and teenagers with educational and recreational activities.
Our method
How we build decent housing, step by step
We don't just give away a house and leave. Every peso you donate becomes a real roof over your head.
We identified the family
We get to know the family and verify their real need on the ground.
We build in community
We obtained the materials and equipment, and built it together with the community.
We deliver and support
We deliver a completed home and follow up with the family.
Our impact
Behind every house is a family that sleeps peacefully tonight
Each home we deliver represents a family that has gone from uncertainty to a solid roof over their heads. That is the impact we build together, donor by donor, brick by brick.
A true story
From a house that was falling down to a decent home
This is one of the families we support. Their house was dilapidated and uninhabitable. Thanks to the work of volunteers and donors, the same place was transformed into a sturdy home. See for yourself.

More than a house
Around each work, we accompany the community
Building homes is our main focus, but we don't just leave the families there. We bring markets, games, sports, and a different kind of Christmas to the neighborhoods where we work.
Markets and donations
We deliver food baskets, clothing, and kits to the families who need it most.
Days for children
We bring games, recreation and joy to the children of the neighborhoods.
Christmas for children
We bring gifts and joy to children in December, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Sports and recreation
We support sports clubs that keep young people off the streets.
Sport that transforms
Sport is one of the best tools for to keep children off the streets and give them a place to belong.
We support sports clubs and events in the neighborhoods: uniforms, equipment, and tournaments that give young people discipline, friends, and a sense of purpose. It's part of our mission and how we understand decent housing: a sturdy roof over your head and a healthy community around it.
Our work
Years of work and days, in real images
No stock photos here: each photo is a real day in the life of Hepacom in the neighborhoods and rural areas of Colombia.
National coverage
We build homes throughout Colombia
We work where it's needed most: in neighborhoods and rural communities of vulnerable families across the country. No matter the region, if there's a family without decent housing, that's where we want to be.
