Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Fort Collins, CO

Total Budget: $1,600

Areas of Focus: Peacebuilding and conflict prevention, Basic education and literacy, Community economic development

Activity Type: Community Development: Construction/Renovation

Summary: Local vocational students will learn housing constuction fundamentals while building homes for homeless individuals in Juarez.


Our past president was fundamental in recognizing the need for vocational education and in helping create a vocational training program in the Colorado Early Colleges High School, a charter school in Fort Collins, CO. Students in the construction trade will build a home in prefabricated units for assembly in Mexico. While the houses will ultimately end up in Juarez, Mexico, we consider this component a local project with the local students learning construction skills related to housing that can help them obtain skilled construction jobs. This project has been successfully implemented in Denver through the South Jeffco Rotary Club and that club will provide transportation to Mexico. We will use the money to purchase the material needed to build the home. Each home costs $1600.00 to build. We are asking for matching funds


Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed)

The Fort Collins Rotary after Work club will be involved in build days at the vocational school in order to complete the building of this home to be shipped to Juarez.

Several members of our club went to the school this week and helped the students build walls for one of these houses. It was fascinating to learn with them and watch as they learned to read and implement the designs.

This project is near completion. The house was prefabricated by students at the Colorado Early Colleges High School, a charter school in Fort Collins. June Boon and Bill Emslie visited the school during one of the construction periods. The completed sections were taken to the South Jeffco Rotary Club and that club transported this house and three others to Juarez, Mexico for construction. We expect to have a report from South Jeffco Rotary soon.
