Uruguay

Un Techo para mi País- Uruguay started with the strong conviction that it is possible to create a country that is more just and equal; the responsibility of young people is to turn this possibility into a reality. The situation of thousands of families living in extreme poverty in slums can no longer be ignored. We understand that the poverty of one is the poverty of many and we work with dedication and optimism to reverse this situation, building a unified and strong country.
