Building Homes
We build safe, dignified homes for impoverished families in Colombia — turning empty lots into places families can call their own.
Manos for Homes
Building Dreams
A non-profit foundation serving communities in the United States and Colombia — building homes for families in need and bringing neighbors together, one pair of hands at a time.
Our Mission
Every family deserves a place to call home.
Manos for Homes — manos means hands in Spanish — was founded by Simon Aljure-Jauregui with a simple belief: when a community lends its hands, families rise. We serve impoverished communities in both the United States and Colombia — building homes for families in need, organizing community events, and partnering with companies and foundations in both countries.
What We Do
Hands at work
Community Service
From holiday celebrations to community events, we show up for the people we serve — in Colombia and in the United States.
Partnerships
We work with companies and fellow foundations — like the Sereniti Foundation — in the USA and Colombia to multiply our impact.
In Colombia
We build homes
Alongside local families and partner foundations, we build safe, dignified homes for families in need — and we keep building. Every home is raised hand in hand with the community that will live in it.
Follow every build from foundation to finished home on our Instagram.
In Miami
We build community
Our work starts at home in Miami. We organize community events, holiday celebrations, and fundraisers with local volunteers and partner organizations — bringing neighbors together and powering our work abroad.

Partners
Stronger together
We are proud to work alongside companies and foundations in the United States and Colombia. If your organization wants to help families build a better future, we'd love to join hands with you.
