4 Walls Project
Donate
The 4 Walls Project is proud to boast that all of its contributors’ money goes to construction materials and wages for Nicaraguan workers. No overhead. No administration costs.
Building better lives
The 4 Walls Project began almost 15 years ago when a nurse and a Peace Corps volunteer borrowed a truck and bought some bricks to help a family in need. Bonnie and Meghan had so much fun they decided to do it again. And again. And again! Today the 4 Walls Project has built more than 220 houses.
Decisions Are Made Locally
A talented staff of Nicaraguan people runs the operation. They are supported by friends in the United States who raise funds and encourage adventurous volunteers to make the trip to El Sauce, Nicaragua, for the fun and the joy and the same life changing experience Meghan and Bonnie had in 2007.
The El Sauce committee is a 7-person body including the Project Manager and 6 other members, made up of mostly past 4 Walls recipients. The committee chooses the families who will receive a 4 Walls house after reviewing applications, and interviewing and visiting each family. On average, there are more than 20 families on the waiting list for a 4 Walls house already approved by the committee.
