Growing stronger together: Uniting for noble causes as a herd
Marlene Rodríguez Miranda, Ricardo Montaner, and their children share their family life and their multiple professional commitments with a life of service, dedication, and devotion, whose reward is the immense happiness it brings them and which currently extends to several countries: Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Colombia, India, and Jordan.
An unstoppable work that needs to continue adding hearts, because caring for the neediest people requires commitment, resources and, above all, the support and generosity of wonderful people.
It is time to build community with those who feel the same need to help, with those who want to be part of this great herd called
The House Project.

What moves us?
We are moved that every day, thousands of children, youth and adults around the world face extreme poverty and lose their right to live in dignity.
We are moved by the inequality that keeps the poor from accessing basic goods and services: the lack of food, medicine and medical care, personal hygiene and decent housing where they can see their families grow, where they can build their future. The lack of drinking water, electricity, access to the Internet or study tools prevents them from guaranteeing their subsistence, their stability and being able to fulfill their dreams.
We are moved by the sight of children dying of hunger, by malnutrition figures that freeze the soul and by places where a drop of water becomes an unreachable paradise, where the roof is nothing more than a mantle of stars and the possibilities of dreaming of a shelter that will protect them and allow them to believe in themselves seem remote.
At The House Project we dream of a better world. We say no to inequality, no to lack of food, health or education. We work to provide freedom, growth and future.
With your help, our herd can be bigger. Join today.
The best service we can give to others is to help them believe in themselves. The first step to helping others to believe in themselves is to believe in ourselves, we can’t witness anything other than what we are.
It is impossible to give what one does not have, the measure of love for one's neighbor is love for oneself, only from that self-love is it possible to grant love to others.
No one does it alone. To be in life is to discover that we are all a family, a herd, it is to find that we are united to God. Compassion is born from the feeling that we are brothers, that we are one, and it is this unity that sets us in motion.
Always listen first, without judgment, demands, or personal pretensions about others so that our service to others succeeds in articulating tangible solutions that bring value to the various real needs. Our homes are free spaces that encourage dialogue; by listening freely to our fellow human beings we can be ourselves and truly help others.
We focus on needs and go straight to the core, from our heart we go to the heart of others, and without prejudice, we touch the bottom because that is where we can all meet.
True joy is not tied to the future but in permanent communion with the moment in which it is lived. The joy of our homes is alien to any other time than the present that we enjoy being in them. True joy is a source of light.
