HOMES building better homes

Rescuing Traditions includes a series of workshops designed by several volunteers concerned with the living conditions of the Wayuu community.

The workshops were designed by experts who supported us in the process of providing people with alternatives to improve their homes.

Considering that most of the houses where the indigenous people live are made of bahareque (a type of wattle and daub), a traditional construction technique that uses sticks and reeds reinforced with mud, they face certain problems, such as water infiltration when it rains.

It is then that we begin to offer them an option through modern techniques that can meet the needs of their homes. However, we must preserve the roots and traditions of the people because we also learn from them in the workshops.

Sharing knowledge is the vital objective of this project, which aims to preserve ancestral knowledge and leave a broad legacy for future generations.
