Safe Homes Movement is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life through engineering volunteer opportunities and sustainable community development projects.
As a division of MEDLIFE, Safe Homes Movement is committed to enhancing the quality of life for families in Peru and Ecuador. In these regions, the absence of essential infrastructure places entire communities at risk. We focus on building staircases, creating parks, and renovating homes to make daily life safer and more dignified for everyone. Because we believe that access to a safe home is not a privilege—it’s a human right.
The Development Service Learning Trip provides hands-on engineering volunteer opportunities in Peru and Ecuador for design, engineering, and architecture students or graduates. Participants collaborate with local professionals to design and execute key community projects like staircases. Remaining plans are later implemented by MEDLIFE Classic Service Learning Trips, ensuring lasting, quality impact. Together, we’re empowering communities to break the cycle of poverty.
When MEDLIFE encounters a development or urban planning issue, we find a solution and we do it right. We ensure that our work is high-quality and up to industry standards so that the issue is resolved for a long time to come.
At Safe Homes Movement, we believe in creating sustainable changes that offer more than just immediate relief. Our projects are designed to meet the long-term needs of the communities we serve, fostering safety, unity, and opportunity.
Our development projects are focused in two incredibly diverse and beautiful countries, Peru and Ecuador. While the landscapes and cultures are breathtaking, many communities in these regions face daily challenges due to the lack of basic infrastructure.
